SCIENCE GRADE 5: SEPTEMBER 13-24

Grade 5 is continuing to study about air pressure and how it affects weather. This week we did two air pressure experiments: one to test if air really had weight and the other to model how air flows from an area of high to low air pressure. We have also measured air pressure. Each day a new "meterologist" reads the air pressure of our barometer and its corresponding weather. As we learn more about each element of weather, we will begin recording our data findings. Students will write a test on air pressure this Friday. On Monday we will begin a new unit on clouds. Watch out for those cumulonimbus clouds!
