Mixtures, solutions, and separation methods…oh my! Scholars completed the “Sandy Water” lab from @McGrawHillK12. They then analyzed the properties before and after mixing. We took it a step further by selecting the best separation method and applied it. #scientists #funinfifth

The first week of school was jam packed with exploration and learning properties of matter. They tested out the magnetism of different items and became experts on using the triple beam balance. What a great start to an amazing year! #scientists #handsonlearning #funinfifth

What better place to learn more about conservation of natural resources than outside? It was a beautiful day with my kiddos! In Social Studies, students are presenting their Civil Rights Hero projects. This student did a bottle biography on Jackie Robinson-wow! #funinfifth

Yesterday we introduced @lead4ward Ball Toss Boogie to review mixtures and solutions. Today we played Word Whack to review force and motion. These strategies had all my students engaged and eager to show what they know. #STAARready #rockinreview #pattersquad #allin #funinfifth

Next @lead4ward strategy on deck for Day 3 of Rockin Review…Matching Double Trouble to review changes in matter. This allowed students to extend their thinking by thinking about a topic in multiple ways. We followed it up with some fun stations! #STAARready #funinfifth #allin

Science @lead4ward Rockin Review Day 1 was all about the Mystery Bag. This was a great strategy to review all of the concepts we’ve covered this year and put these amazing scholars in the driver’s seat! 4 C’s at its best! #PatterSquad #funinfifth #Allin #STAARready

We closed out our Greek Mythology unit with a scavenger hunt. The students researched and designed a diorama of their selected god or goddess in their home setting. I’m super impressed with their creativity! 💙💛#FunInFifth @Cambridge_AH @AHISD

Earth and space will forever be my fav topic to teach! Did you know that the part of the brain that processes movement is the same part that processes learning? Whole body learning ftw! #revolutionvsrotation #funinfifth #welcomeback #Sciencezone
