Manipulating Variables

To make this human cannonball successful, you need to manipulate different variables. You'll need to be very organized to record all the changes in your journal. Describe in detail 3 different situations where you made the performer land safely. Explain how did you manipulate the variables. Was it usefull to manipulate one variable at a time? What strategy did you follow?

How Fast are Sound Waves?

Have you ever wonder how fast is the sound? Click on the link, and find the yellow activity rectangle on the upper left corner. Click on "How far away is it?", and do the activity. You may need to use your math to figure out where does the sound travels the faster. Is it on the air, or in the water? How can you explain the results? Record everything in your Science Journal.

Natural Resources

It's time to know which natural resources are renewable, nonrenewable, and inexhaustible. Go to this link, and click on the yellow activity rectangle where says Resource ID. As you explore the game, write a chart listing all the resources in the right column. Find the commonalities among them, and try to define what renewable, nonrenewable, and inexhaustible resources are. Don't forget to take notes on your journal!

Stellaluna Adaptations and Food Chains

Listen to the story of Stellaluna by Janell Cannon, and write a page summary in your Science notebook. Using a Venn Diagram, compare the different adaptations between the birds and the bats. Explain how Stellaluna adapted to her new life. Write and illustrate at least 2 food chains that happened in the book.

Food Webs

In this activity, you'll have the chance to sort different animals according to their roll in the food webs. Select one biome and create a poster showing a food web that includes at least 3 food chains from that specific place. Label each part of the web and explain it.

Food Chains

Take a look to the main actors of a food chain. Learn what an omnivore, carnivore and hervovire are. Build 2 different food chains, and see what will happen if one link is removed. Report on your science journal what did you learn.

All about the Solar System

Use this interactive page to travel through the Solar System. Write in your science journal the name of the planets in order. Use the information in this page to fill up the planet chart that includes size, day duration, year duration, temperature, athmosphere and moons. When you finish, use index cards to draw in one side the planet, and in the other side the most relevant informacion about the planet.
