If I Eat More Candy...

One of my students took a poem she memorized and turned it into a rap! We also had another student who could beat box--and the dance session in the background made this video complete. :)

Happy Halloween! Don't eat too much candy!

Water Displacement Lab

In our current science unit we are learning about mass, volume, and density. My students learned that to find the volume of oddly shaped solids, they must use water displacement. Here are some of my students completing their water displacement lab!


Steps of Water Displacement:
1. Measure the volume of JUST the liquid in the graduated cylinder. Record data.
2. Place the object in the water.
3. Measure the volume of the water with the object in the graduated cylinder. Record data.
4. Subtract. (Ending mL - Starting mL = Volume of object)

Welcome to Science Shenanigans!

Welcome! Part of my teaching philosophy is that students should feel like learning is fun and not a chore. I created this blog to show you all of the fun things we are learning in my 5th grade science class. Enjoy! :)
