Today we started our study of electricity. To prepare for our field trip to the Exploratorium next Thursday, we will be investigating electricity through a series of experiments this week. Our first experiment focused on lighting a small light bulb with two wires and a D-cell battery. Students were asked to explore how to make their light bulb light up with the given materials.
After successfully lighting the light bulbs, we took away a wire and figured out how to light it using only one wire.
Finally, students were given free reign of the materials and created their own circuits.
This afternoon we divided into our Historical Fiction Book Groups. There are six different groups and each group will be reading one of the following books:
Night Journeys
Under the Blood Red Sun
Sarah Bishop
Dear America: My Heart is on the Ground
Dear America: The Journal of Jasper Jonathan Pierce
The Sign of the Beaver
