Day 5-

Improve:  

• Improve your bubble wand design. How can I modify it to make it better?
• Test it out!
  
   Day 6-
   
  Reflect and Share: The students examined their designs and answered reflection and content related questions which connects everything they learned about matter so far.

  Note to Parents:
  

  • NO CHOIR REHEARSALS THIS WEEK

  Next week we are going to be discussing mixtures. I will be using Chex Mix for my first activity. If any parents have any extra Chex Mix at home, please send a unopened bag/container to school to help with the activity. Thanks!
