Quiz Review

Greetings all!!

Just a heads up that the quiz in Science was sent home. Please be sure to check in with your child and talk about what we are learning in Science.

Students were given some sample writing and we discussed types of responses that provide evidence for their claims. (Last question on the quiz.)

We are now building on their understanding of air pressure and taking it into space! They will be applying skills on engineering design and revisions (done with the car design) and integrating this into the content of weather and air pressure to design a space suit for their Peeps! (We will be using Halloween Peeps for this. In spite of their desire, we will not be eating these Peeps. :)

Stay tuned for an upcoming rubric to be sent home and posted on classroom for students to consider as they work towards creating and revising ideas for their Peep safety.

Thanks for all of your support!
