Making a Volcano!

Today we made a volcano in science class. We mixed 2 tablespoons of water with 1 tablesoon of baking soda. Then we added vinegar. Once we put the vinegar into the baking soda and water mixture, the volcano erputed and we were able to see the lava come out of the volcano!

Review Week with iPads!

Today we reviewed some of the concepts we have studied so far in science. Using iPads we drew the water cycle, cumulus and stratus clouds, as well as mammals and reptiles.

The Water Cycle

Today we made rain in a bag! We were able to apply our knowledge of the water cycle to realize the water in the bag had evaporated and condensed to form water droplets that looked like rain. We used soil, grass, water, and a straw. 

Clouds!

We learned about clouds in 7-B. The girls created cirrus, stratus, and cumulas clouds out of cotton balls. 7-B did a great job making the cirrus clouds thin and wispy and the cumulas clouds big and puffy. After we finished our project, we looked outside to see what the clouds looked like. We found a mixture of cumulas and stratus clouds.
