Friday, APril 24 ~ Elearning

Good morning 3D! FUN FABULOUS FRIDAY! I hope everyone is doing well! Today is a great day to catch up on any work that needs to be completed and/or corrected, so make sure to check your April E-Learning Slideshow.

Please watch the video, then read the blog post more carefully for details.

Remember to plan out your day. Do an assignment. Take a mental break (go outdoors, listen to music, play a board game – whatever you need.) Then come back and tackle another assignment. Try to plan your day like a school day 8:30-3pm, so you have the afternoon and evenings free.

SCIENCE 

The weather forecast for today is a high of 49 degrees F and a 90% chance of rain. If you are curious about how those clouds in the sky form or why it rains, then this is the experiment for you! Read the directions carefully, gather the necessary supplies and get to work on creating your own water cycle in a bag. When you are done, take a photo and upload it to SeeSaw to record your learning and share with us. 

How to Make a Water Cycle in a Bag 

Materials needed: 

You need just a few common household items to create your water cycle display:

  • Plastic zip lock-style bag
  • Permanent marker(s)
  • Water
  • Blue food coloring
  • Clear tape

Virtual Field Trip to The Weather Channel

  • Travel to Atlanta, Georgia  to meet Kyle from The Discovery Channel and Mark, a Meteorologist with The Weather Channel. On this trip you will learn about Extreme Weather and see what happens behind the scenes of the shows on The Weather Channel. 
  • This is a recording of a live trip that happened several years ago, so you are not able to send questions or comments. 
  • The video is approximately 1 hour in length and very interesting! Try watching it in two parts – 30 minutes each time. Take notes on surprising facts, new weather instruments and questions you have.

ELA- POETRY: GOOGLE DRAWINGS

Today, poets, your job is to select your favorite poem from the last few weeks of our poetry unit. Pick one that you are proud of and want to share for our Heathcote Virtual Art and Poetry Festival. Watch the video, and create your own Google Drawing in your Writing folder of your Drive to publish your poem.

You have both today and tomorrow to create your drawing. Please be sure that your spelling and punctuation are correct. Include your first name or your initials only.

Please complete 30 minutes of independent reading. If you would like, check out  Storyworks, Scholastic News, Epic and True Flix on the library databases. The book, “What is a Thunderstorm?” was assigned to you on Epic. Please complete this reading. 

MATH- ADDING AND SUBTRACTING COMPOUND UNITS

Today we will continue to look at compound units kg and g.  You will learn a few strategies to help you add mass in kg and g or subtract g from k.  Please look closely at the different strategies mentioned in the video and decide which method works best for you.

NOTE: If regrouping while subtracting is difficult for you, please continue to practice this skill separately. Maybe practice subtraction problems without the units ahead of time. For ex, 127-38 or 456- 76. It is important to understand the renaming process.

**NOTE: math video corrections:

  • #14 b answer is 5kg 100g and
  • #15 I transcribed the problem wrong. The correct problem is 32kg -25kg 750g=6kg 250 g.

Please show your work on a separate sheet of paper and add to your E-Learning slides under math. Remember to be neat and label the pages and problems, so we can refer to your work and guide you if needed.
