Students received their new spelling list on Friday. They should come with the sentences on Monday.
They also received a new science book, which we read outside in the sunshine! They should read this book over the weekend.
Investigation 1 , Part 1: Separating Mixtures
Focus Question: How can a mixture be separated?
• Students explore the different properties of matter, specifically solids and liquids.
• Students manipulate different types of earth materials and describe their properties. (Descriptive Language)
• Students predict what happens with the properties of these materials when a solid and a liquid is mixed.
• Students predict if materials can be separated and go back to their original form.
• Students experience a hands-on activity to understand all these concepts in context, applying accurate content vocabulary and language structures.
