Here are a some pictures from morning choice this week. The favorite activities were gel pen art, Legos, and math games on the ipads. Keep reading to see what our classroom reporters wrote this week about what they learned in science and language arts.
Science: Structures of Matter
What did you learn about chemical and physical changes during the investigation we did with the 10 different stations?
In the 10 different stations some physical and chemical changes I learned about
are the PH paper and ammonia was a chemical change because the paper
turned purple. Also the vinegar and baking soda was also a chemical change
because the vinegar made a chemical reaction when added to the baking soda.

When we did the 10 chemical and physical changes stations, I learned how
different chemicals, like ammonia, react with different items, like paper. My
favorite was when we put yellow paper in ammonia and it turned dark, vibrant,
purple.

We learned chemical and physical changes during the 10 different stations we
tried out. It was fun we did a lot. Physical changes are when the object changes
by itself. A chemical change is when the object changes if something touches
the object.

The paper turned purple in the Starch. The salt didn't disappear in the water it
combined in the water.The clay was a physical thing because we used our hands
to form it into a snake.

What we learned about chemical and physical changes during the investigation we did with the 10 different stations, is that chemical changes are when 2 or more different things are combined to make a new thing, and you can’t change it back. For example, when you put a piece of pH paper in ammonia, you can’t change the pH paper back to the way it was, and the ammonia and pH paper create a new thing. What I learned about physical changes from the 10 stations, is that you can undo a physical change, when something is physically changed, it is normally only its appearance that changes. For example, when you rip a piece of paper, it is still a piece of paper, it just looks different. Putting baking soda on a plate and then putting vinegar on the baking soda creates a new substance, therefore it is a chemical change, and when you shape clay, it is a physical change, because you can change it back to how it was. I have learned a lot from this investigation and I hope you have learned some things from reading my very long blog post.

I learned more about how Chemical changes are caused by two or more substances put together making a new material of Matter. Physical changes are where two of the same substances are put together to change it’s outlook; color, amount, appearance that sticks to the same matter. However, Physical change doesn’t change texture.
Example: Water mixed with food coloring. [Food coloring is a liquid just like water.] The food coloring will change the color of the water, but not the form.
Example 2: Salt mixed with warm water. [The salt is a solid, and the water is a liquid.] The water absorbs the salt, the salt dissolves, and melts down to become the same substance as the water.-Braelyn
It was so much fun doing the 10 stations when we stuck a piece of paper in starch and it changed colors.
-Taylor
The 10 stations were fun. We got to do fun activities and see if it was a chemical reaction or a physical reaction. I had a lot of fun with my partners we Madylyn and Lyndsey I hope the teachers will do it next year so the fourth graders can have the same experience.

Language Arts: The American Revolution
In the opinion essay that you are writing, what are some reasons and evidence you have written to persuade colonists to join the Loyalists?
My first reason to persuade them is how the Loyalists have more men/ soldiers than the Patriot army and my second reason is to pay the taxes and debt that go to the British soldiers to help them fight and have food when they are far away from civilization need food or a blanket or maybe even weapon bullets and even weapons so that the British are able to defeat the Patriots.
-Lyndsey
I think the King is so nice, he protected us during the French and Indian War.
He is so sweet, but we have to pay our taxes. I think that's a fair price to pay.
People of the 13 colonies, we MUST remain loyal to the King!
-Cash
One reason on my opinion essay is that you have to pay taxes to pay the British soldiers. Some evidence for that is that you can not just send the soldiers sent out to the colonies or war for free.

I loved this subject it is really fun and I never knew about the wars like the battle of Trenton. I learned a lot from the past few days.

The Patriots are rag-tag soldiers without uniforms or lots of supplies.
-Randy
Some reasons and evidence I have put in my essay are the king is nicer
than George Washington.
-Zachary
In ELA we are having our end of unit assessment, we have to make a broadside
which is like an essay about the loyalist perspective. I like learning about how to
make a broadside. ELA has been fun so far.
