4th Grade Science Updates
We will start off the week with some review and then we will be experimenting with slope, looking at how starting position affects speed. Learners will also have a chance to design investigations around their own questions related to potential and kinetic energy. We will wrap up with a short article about motion and energy.

4th graders will be looking at energy this week. They will complete various energy stations and then they will design and test and experiment to find out how ramp positioning affects speed. Later in the week they will have an opportunity to investigate other variables.
This week we will continue working with telegraphs- building long-distance machines and reading an article about them. We’ll also watch a video about telegraphs and complete an exit ticket on Friday.
4th graders will continue to work with electromagnets this week. They’ll experiment with them and then graph their results to show which variables can increase their strength. They will read an article about electromagnets and “reinvent” telegraphs to send each other coded messages. They will brainstorm how to use the materials to send longer distances messages.
