On February 10th members from the Coordinated School Health Council will be coming to the cafeteria to take “Got Milk” pictures. Students will get to drink a vanilla shake and then smile for a picture with a milk mustache. The cost is $1.00 per person and all proceeds go directly to the Got Teeth program for the ELANCO District. The Got Teeth program is a dental assistance program for low income children within the Elanco School district.
On Friday we did an exciting experiment during Science. One of our essential questions for this unit asks “How can force and motion be measured?” We stretched a fishing line from one end of the classroom to another. Balloons were taped to a straw that was threaded onto the fishing line. When I cut the knot off the balloon it raced along the fishing line. We then measured how far it traveled from the starting point. We used five different sized balloons for the experiment. Students hypothesized which balloon they thought would travel the farthest and most of us were correct. We only wish our classroom was a bit longer so the balloons could have traveled even further!
Today we investigated gravity by doing an experiment. Two students stood on a bench and dropped items at the same time. We carefully observed which object was pulled toward the ground first. Students made their hypothesis first and then made note of the results on our chart. This is an easy experiment for your second grader to replicate at home if they enjoyed it.
