5th Grade: This week, the students continued their study of human systems, including the circulatory, respiratory, digestive and excretory system through readings, video and discussion. Key questions: What is the purpose of the blood and heart? What do the lungs do? What do cells need? (gas exchange, food, water, waste disposal) How do the digestive and excretory systems work together? Why are they important?
4th Grade: This week the 4th graders continued their study of land formation. They discussed slow and quick geological changes, with a focus on erosion as an example of slow change, and volcanoes as a quick one. Key questions: Name three slow geologic changes and three quick ones. What landforms result from these changes?
Note: Please send in plastic lettuce containers if you have them so we can start our terrariums after break!
