Cool Dry Ice Experiments Conducted by Rooms 7 & 8

11/12/2015

 
Fifth grade rooms 7 & 8, along with an support group of parents, performed a marathon of six experiments related to dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide). This event culminated their unit on physical science. With parent help, proper safety cautions were observed.   Students learned about the different types of matter while applying the scientific process, making hypothesis and writing observations.  Task 1 was to put drops of cold water on an on ice cube. Task 2 was to drop a piece of dry ice into hot water.  Task 3 was to predict what would happen if a metal nail was pressed against the dry ice.  Task 4 was to see if they could fill a ballon using dry ice.  Task 5 was to put dry ice into a mixture of dish soap and water.  The last task, Task 5, was to see if they could make a giant bubble using the dry ice.

Do you have questions regarding The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics?  The slideshow below, presented to parents on Nov. 9th, might help you.   Common Core State Standards for Mathematics build on the best of existing standards and reflect the skills and knowledge students will need to succeed in college, career, and life. Understanding how the standards differ from previous standards - and the necessary shifts they call for is essential to implementing them.

The PowerPoint slideshow below addresses the key math shifts called for by the Common Core.
