While we didn't do a whole lot for Creature Week, Josiah told us an awesome story about his favorite creature the "Jersey Devil". I also wore my skunk hoodie on Friday.
After a really cool science lesson on Monday, where we saw what the germs and bacteria on our hands loped like when grown, Lisa showed us a paperweight with what looks like bears floating on little islands. This gave us an idea for a brand-new experiment. Many of the students were wondering how the paperweight seem to be filled with two different kinds of liquid, but they didn't seem to be able to mix. We decided they must be oil and water. But which one was the oil and which one was the water? Which one was denser, oil or water? Using the scientific process, on Tuesday we asked our question, made our hypothesis, may predictions, and created an experiment. We tested many different types of oil with colored water to see which would float on top and which would settle to the bottom. We found out that the oil was less dense than the water and always floated to the top.
On Wednesday, Reed taught us all about the Wii and all the controllers you can use with the game system. I never knew there were so many.
Continuing with our theme of personal identity, we all created flags that define parts of ourselves and united the flags under the banner of the United Kids of Team Spencer. Can you tell who belongs with what flag? Even Alexander the imaginary student and I are represented.
We are almost done with our locker doors. Still have some work to do.
