Natural Disaster Research Project

2015-05-05T06:24:00.001-07:00

Here's the deal: You FINALLY get to pick the natural disaster of the choice. Research it and answer the following questions.

1. When did it happen?
2. What caused it? (plate tectonics, supercell thunderstorm, tropical depression, etc)
3. What areas were affected?
4. A timeline of the events
5. How many people were affected by it
6. Any lessons learned or myths busted by the storm?
7. How long did the recovery take?

Remember that the internet is full of fake photos and accounts. Try to stick to facts only. Here are an example of myths:

1. Earthquakes only happen near mountains
2. Tsunamis are a single wave.
3. Volcano eruptions only affect the area nearby
4. The storm surge is the most dangerous part of a hurricane
5. The eye marks the end of the hurricane
6. A tornado always moves from Southwest to Northeast
7. Tornadoes never hit downtown areas
8. Floods are safe to drive through if only knee high or lower
9. High flood waters are the only dangerous part of a flood
10. Earthquakes are over after the shaking stops

Plate Tectonics!

2015-04-28T05:55:00.000-07:00

Use these words to create a presentation in order to warn people about the hazards of living in or near the Ring of Fire.

Pangea
Lithosphere
Tectonic Plates
Convergent Plate
Divergent Plate
Continent
Plate Boundary
Ring Of Fire
Volcano
Earthquake
Tsunami
Crust
Continental Drift

Use the technology and form groups of no more than 3.

FIfth Grade

2015-04-27T08:34:00.001-07:00

Imagine you went back to the beginning of the year knowing what you know now. What would you tell yourself to do in order to be successful in fifth grade? What would you do differently? What were the hardest things you had to learn? Come up with a way for you to teach yourself (and others) how you mastered that skill. Include recommendations for the fourth graders.

Nutrition

2015-04-23T05:14:00.001-07:00

This week we will begin looking at how we can make better choices when it comes to eating. Here are a few websites that you can use along the way.

Adaptations and Ecosystems

2015-02-04T06:23:00.000-08:00

You will need to choose an actual wild animal that you are interested in. It can be something that is now extinct, but no mythical creatures. Go to classroom to create a document!!! (mermaids, unicorns, Phoenix, dragons, etc) Use the following links to create a presentation about your animal with your partner. 2 people to a group.

Internet Safety

2015-01-29T13:03:00.001-08:00

Remember to not put everything about you online. Keep the data collectors at bay and do not put anything out there you wouldn't share with your grandma. Here is the link to the DNT.

First Project of 2015!!!!!

2015-01-05T07:40:00.000-08:00

Welcome back!!!! Your first job this new year is to create a quick 5 minute presentation that will teach the 3rd graders the following things:

1. The order of the planets from closest to the sun.
2. The difference between a sun, planet, and moon.
3. The difference between revolution and rotation and how they are measured.

You will do this with a group and the best groups will be presenting on Friday.
Here are some links to get you started!!

Graphic Novel of Matter

2014-09-03T08:05:00.003-07:00

Let me reiterate something: NO YOUTUBE!!!You may use brainpop, but only to watch related videos. The quizzes do not matter. I am including a list of things that must be completed by Friday. You must have:
A story line (plot) that involves matter (changing states)
You must know the following words and how to use them correctly:
Matter
Mass
Volume
Density
How each state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) has their particles arranged and how much energy they have.

Project 1- Matter

2014-08-29T06:40:00.003-07:00

Welcome to my class!!!! The first thing for us to do this year is something new. I would like for you to create a story/graphic novel/comic book about a superhero whose superpower is the ability to change states of matter. You have the ability to be as creative as you like. You will need to answer the following questions in order to make the book accurate. You will be getting your rubric and calendar soon. This will be done in addition to the normal classwork we will be doing as well. HEre are some links to resources, as well as the questions.

What is matter?
What are the states of matter?
What causes them to change?
How can they change back?
Is there certain ways water can become a new substance? How?
Is there a certain way to change it back? How? Using What?
Is there a way water can be cleaned quickly? How? Using What?
Are there ways that water can change volume and mass? How?
