Explorer Group Projects
Last week we started our explorers unit in 5th grade social studies. Students were assigned an explorer to research and create a poster with their partner to present to the class. Below are just some of the groups with their posters.
California Shakeout
On October 16th we participated in the California Shakeout. Millions of people worldwide practice how to Drop, Cover, and Hold On at 10:16 a.m. on October 16 during Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills, which began in California in 2008.
Below is our fantastic class, waiting patiently in the heat for the drill to end!

Apple Lab
In our apple lab, we looked for both chemical reactions and physical changes. Student were given 4 different substances they needed to place their apples in. They were given lemon juice, water, baking soda solution, and milk of magnesia. Over night we let our apples sit out. On the second day, students observed what kind of change took place.
Chemical Reaction Lab
Last week in science our 5th graders studied physical and chemical reactions. We participated in a white powder lab. Students were given different white powders to mix into different liquids. They needed to observe whether a chemical reaction occurred. They charted their results into their science journal.
