Fifth-Grade Family Science a Huge Success!

It was great seeing so many fifth-graders at Family Science Day on November 22nd. Students enjoyed many science investigations and made terrific observations. Kudos to Robert Kosinski and Juan Villacis from Ms. Bradley's class for creating great sculptures from trash! We also have some budding scientific illustrators at P.S. 230--so many of your bird illustrations were marvelous. Kids also got a chance to read tree cookies and find out the age of a tree and the conditions under which the tree grew. Students wracked their brains trying to solve toothpick puzzles and built some pretty tall skyscrapers using clay and toothpicks. The tallest skyscraper was built by Cassidy McAllister. Sabiha Afroz from Ms. Shapiro's class guessed correctly that there were 350 pencils in the Estimation Jar. Way to go Sabiha!

Hi Faria. Happy to see you checking the blog. Well you already did Part I of the science test. The second part is on Monday and it's all writing and answering questions. So I suggest you study science vocabulary. Go to brainpopjr.com and look at the videos there. They are very good and helpful. I'm so glad you are enjoying science. You work very hard and always have a beautiful smile on your face. And my favorite color....hmmm, it used to be yellow but I'm not sure anymore. Let me think about that one.
