Solving Multiplication Problems using Equal Groups Mystery Science-Investigating Mechanical Energy After watching a Mystery Science video about spiders, we drew spiders and folded a piece of paper with yarn going through two folds to make a spider "crawl". There were very detailed directions to follow and these scientists were up for the challenge. Everyone was able to make their spider crawl-some even figured out how to make it go fast. So exciting to see mechanical energy in motion! Counting Collections I love seeing mathematicians sharing their thinking and so engaged in mathematical thinking. Partners organized and counted collections of items in various ways. The challenge is to think of efficient ways to group the items in order to count and record accurately. You can tell from the photos that lots of hard work went into making groups. Lots of great thinking happening! Exploring Heat Energy with Mystery Science In this investigation, we placed different types of candy in hot water to see which ones melted the most. At first, nothing happened because we realized the water was still cold. Then, when we tested the candies in hot water, some of them melted a lot while others just became slightly soft. This was part of a Mystery Science exploration. The kiddos loved smooshing the candy after it melted. Notice and Wonder-Discovering Doubling International Week Closing Assembly We were lucky to get to see two of our classmates, Angelina and Tiffany, participate in a dance to celebrate International Week. We also enjoyed a band from UT. What a great way to end the week!
