Grade 5: Week of September 12-16th

Grade 5s will receive a review sheet on Tuesday to study for their Water Cycle test on Thursday.  Students will test each other and we will discuss test taking strategies.  Humidity will not be on the Water Cycle test - I will save this concept for the next test.  Then we will move on to air pressure.  Students will examine the concept of pressure as weight added from above.  To model air pressure, we will use books.  We will add successive layers of books on top of a student to examine how weight adds pressure, and then connect this to "layers" of air and high and low air pressure.
