Country Reports

We've had a lot of fun this year with our "Education is Your Passport to the World" theme.  Each week we learn about a different country.  This week Josh dazzled us with his presentation on England!  He really loves England and had a very informative report.  We were thrilled to experience England by eating some shortbread and lemon curd afterwards.  Yum!

Lab Experiments!

After the presentation, we got to do our own experiments!  Each student got to choose two substances to mix together and see how they reacted.

Reaction Time Science Presentation

On Wednesday we had a visit from a scientist at the Discovery Museum in Salt Lake.  She told us about the differences between physical changes and chemical reactions.  

She mixed Poly A and Poly B together and created foam!  It was definitely a chemical change since it had all 3 indicators: a change in state (liquid to solid), a change in color (dark brown to tan), and a change in energy (gave off heat).  She called him the Foam Gnome and offered it as a prize to the best class!

A Visit from Miss Springville!

Miss Springville/Mapleton came to our class this week to talk to us about the importance of voting.  She was very impressed that our class knew all about the amendments and our responsibilities as citizens.  Go us!
