Math:

We introduced Monday Math Talks today. 


Students are encouraged to approach each problem with an open mind. The focus is NOT on right/wrong answers. The goal is for students to learn to communicate what they are thinking effectively

Here is today's problem:

Science:

We introduced the Scientific Method using Mythbusters. We watched a short video about the Bubble Boy experiments and we discussed the problem (question), hypothesis, observations, variables, results, and conclusion. We also talked about whether the study was believable (did the scientists test things fairly?). 

This week we will continue to explore parts of the Scientific Method using our own experiment. Should be fun!
