This week we have begun work on our final Hearing and Sound projects. Students are able to choose how they would like to present and share their learning. Their choices include, Google Docs, tri-fold poster presentations, videos, essays and oral presentations. The students came up with a set of questions that would need to be addressed in their project. The questions are:
Demonstrate and explain how sounds are made. Why are some sounds loud and some sounds quiet? What causes some sounds to be high pitched and some sounds to be low pitched? How do sounds move through solids, liquids and gas? How is animal hearing the same or different from human hearing? How does the human ear work? We have been reading many texts about hearing and sound to support our science work. Students have been collecting information and writing to record their learning. Students have asked if they can work on their projects at home. Students are welcome to research and learn at home but the majority of the work should be completed in the classroom. All final projects will be on display at Parent Conferences. In math we have continued working on addition with regrouping. This week most of our work was around the “New Group on Top” method. It is very important that when students are learning this method that they have a strong understanding of Place Value and are not just learning a “trick” to write a 1 on top. Comments are closed.
