In our first quarter in science we learned all about the three ways that heat can be transferred: conduction, convection and radiation! We spent a lot of time with hands on experiments to better understand how heat is conducted. Important vocabulary: conduction, conductor, insulator, transfer, radiation, matter, solid, liquid, gas, equilibrium
Starting in second quarter our focus will be on weather. We will be working with weather.
Students will be working on the water cycle, clouds, weather patterns, weather fronts, weather instruments, collecting data, and weather conditions. Students will learn how meteorologists predict weather.
Important Vocabulary: meteorologist, barometer, anemometer, hygrometer, rain guage, water cycle, precipitation, condensation, water vapor, evaporation, run off, cold front, warm front, stationary front, occluded front, high pressure, low pressure, temperature, cumulus clouds, cumulonimbus, stratus, nimbostratus, cirrus,
Interactive Notebooks - Please make sure your child is studying science vocabulary and notes recorded in his or her notebook. Your child has to retain this information. All 5th grade students take a science EOG!!!!
