Students have been learning about the effects of constructive and destructive forces on Earth’s surface. They are developing an interactive model and collecting data to explain the impact of these processes.
5th grade students worked through the EDP to construct a bridge. They tested their bridge to see how much weight it would hold. Then, using the class data, converted the weights from ounces to pounds.
Students designed their own experiment to see how magnetic fields would be affected by different materials. They weighed the number of paperclips and analyzed the data to see which were affected the least.
"Students created comics to teach younger grade levels about the possible uses and advantages of Potassium Polyacrylate in our gardens at WES. Students used a rubric to know what the required elements were, and many went above and beyond the expectations that were set!" -5th Grade Teacher
After researching the effects of potassium polyacrylate, 5th graders created persuasive comic strips to encourage others to try it out in the gardens. They used research and planned a storyboard in their journals. Then, they brought them to life using Storyboard That.
