Dear Parents,
In math, we are finishing up Unit 5 and
will have our test this Wednesday, 3/2.
In science, we are continuing our Magnets unit and the test is on the
calendar for next Wednesday, 3/9.
We will be getting into our last math unit
on Measurement and Time and our last science unit on Heat next week. The essential questions for these units are:
Telling Time… ● What strategies can I use to help me tell
and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes? ●
How can I use what I know about number lines to help me figure out how much
time has passed between two events?
Liquid Volume and Mass… ● What happens when your units of
measure change? ● Why is it important to know the mass of an object? ● In what
ways can we determine the mass of an object? ● What units are appropriate to
measure mass? ● How are units in the same system of measurement related? ● What
strategies could you use to figure out the mass of multiple objects? ● What are
some ways I can measure the liquid volume?
Graphing and Data… ● · How are tables, bar graphs, and line
plot graphs useful ways to display data? ● · How can you use graphs to answer a
question? ● · How can surveys be used to collect data? ● · How can surveys be
used to gather information? ● · How can graphs be used to display data gathered
from a survey?
S3P1. Students will investigate how heat is produced and the
effects of heating and cooling, and will understand a change in temperature
indicates a change in heat. a. Categorize ways to produce heat energy such as
burning, rubbing (friction), and mixing one thing with another. b. Investigate
how insulation affects heating and cooling. c. Investigate the transfer of heat
energy from the sun to various materials. d. Use thermometers to measure the
changes in temperatures of water samples (hot, warm, cold) over time.
Our High Tech High Touch
in-house field trip on Heat is scheduled the week after spring break. It’s hard to believe that we are so close to
done!
This Friday, 3/4 is Dr. Suess Day so your
child is welcome to wear his/her favorite pj’s.
We can’t wait to see all the cuteness!
Also, please remember to keep sending in your Box Tops. Thank you for all of your support!
