Gravity is G-R-R-R-E-A-T!

This afternoon we were lucky to have Josh from Grade 5 to help out in our classroom. Josh was an awesome "Room 5 Expert"; as he had been in my class for Grade 3 AND Grade 4! He used a timer to keep track of the Grade 3s working on a Gravity experiment. The students were seeing how gravity worked against them as they held a number of books away from themselves. It was quite the workout!

The Grade 4s were busy creating scenes that showed 5 (or more!) sounds taking place. I was impressed with the ideas they came up with . . . a Jets game, a beach, a playground, and many more! It's amazing how we can filter all the different sounds around us!

Ah, yes . . . it's never a dull place in Room 5!

Wow Room 5 really is a busy place! There is so much Science going on. I am glad that Josh was such a great help, he has such great memories of Room 5.
Grade 3 - did your arms get tired holding the books up? Were you able to hold them as long as you thought you would be able to?
Grade 4 - I went to my first Jets game last week and it sure was a NOISY place to be!
Keep on blogging!
