We read a story called Peter and the Rocks and we sorted rocks using many different properties.

We washed our rocks and found that pieces of rock got into the water and made it dirty.
Students began a new unit called Pebbles, Sand and Silt. We began by looking at three rocks and noticing their differences. Then we rubbed the rocks together and looked at the rock dust with magnifying glasses and loupe magnifiers.
Students used their evidence of the experiments we've done to make conclusions about the state of matter of toothpaste. Ask your child what they thought it was.
Students investigated toothpaste and are trying to find evidence for its behavior as a solid or a liquid.
Students completed observing their liquids that they added water to last week. We also predicted about toothpaste being a solid or liquid.
Students experimented with floating and sinking in science. We predicted if objects would sink or float in water, then we tried it. We also were challenged to find a way to sink objects that float and float objects that sink.
In science, we began looking at how liquids behave when mixed in water. We saw layers in some bottles and mixing in others. We set the bottles up to settle overnight.
Students observed their solids after the water evaporated. We saw that the rock salt made crystals after the water evaporated. Many of the students would like to try it at home. Take some kosher salt and dissolve it in hot water. Then pour some in a bowl and let it sit out for the water to evaporate. This may take a few days. You should have square crystals with an x in the middle- kosher salt crystals.
Students didn't have science due to Siddur Party practice.
