Put on your pj's, make some hot cocoa, and get ready to learn! You will find learning opportunities to complete at home here on our Padlet. Enjoy this fun time to practice and apply your learning using a variety of tools.  You can email me or message me via Remind if you have any questions.

 Remember to visit Mrs. Fritz's homepage for Wellness lessons (your special today). Also, practice typing using Clever for 20 minutes to replace your Media special.

You have one week to complete these assignments. All work is due on Wednesday, January 31st!

You will need to access the Eday folder in OneNote today.  One Note is found in your office.com account.  Your username is first-last@stumail.zcs.k12.in.us and hyour password is your four digit lunch number.

After you complete these lessons, here are some "can do" activities. Log onto Clever.com to practice typing. Remember to select the correct school!  Log onto Scootpad to practice additional reading, spelling and math skills   or log onto EDM online to play math games.  ]]> 2018-01-11 19:58:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jodi_molitor/eday/wish/220772327 jodi_molitor https://padlet.com/jodi_molitor/eday/wish/220773904 Today I want you to look for the mood in your text.  Mood is the feeling an author creates with his or her words.  Take a moment to view the Brain Pop video.

**Log in with unionel and popunion**

Then curl up with a good just right book, if you have your historical fiction book or Wrinkle in Time, use one of those, read for at least 20 minutes.  Really think about how the author's words create mood. 

Finally, you will complete a response in One Note.  Respond using full sentences and in paragraph form.  Begin with a main idea that states the mood.  Use details to prove this.  End with a conclusion.  Include the title of your book too!

Find the Eday folder.  Open the document called "Mood" and write!]]> 2018-01-11 20:02:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jodi_molitor/eday/wish/220773904 jodi_molitor https://padlet.com/jodi_molitor/eday/wish/220777475 During the day today, take at least three measurements of different items in your house. Measure to the nearest 1/8 inch.

Please see the lesson video below.

After you have watched the video, make your first measurement, and go to One Note.  You will record each of the measurements you make during the day.

Find the Eday folder.  Open the document called "Math Data" and record!]]> 2018-01-11 20:10:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jodi_molitor/eday/wish/220777475 jodi_molitor https://padlet.com/jodi_molitor/eday/wish/220778298 You already used a ruler to measure items in your house.  This is one tool scientist use.

Write an expository (teaching) paragraph.  Describe ways that a scientist uses various tools. You might focus on other ways that scientists measure linear data with rulers.  You might pick a different science tool on which to focus such as a scale, timer, or thermometer.  You may even want to write more than one paragraph!

Begin with a main idea that states the tool you are writing about. Use details to explain how and when this tool is used.

 Think about the experiments we have completed in class. How did we measure speed when we were building Hotwheel tracks? When we created our penguin houses how did we determine if they were successful? What tools did we need? Hint: timers, rulers, thermometers, scales, etc.


Find the Eday folder.  Open the document called "Math Data" and write below the data you collected!]]> 2018-01-11 20:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jodi_molitor/eday/wish/220778298 jodi_molitor https://padlet.com/jodi_molitor/eday/wish/220779180 We have studied heat transfer, heat insulators, and heat conductors.  Remember the problem with keeping diet Coke cans cold?  Can you insulate ice cubes from home to keep them around longer?

Procedure:
1. Find three identical cups or glasses.

2. Wrap each cup or glass in a material that you believe will reduce heat transfer and keep the ice from melting. We tried things like paper towel, aluminum foil, a cotton sock or plastic wrap.

3. Make a hypothesis.  Identify the three materials that you are using.  Tell which one will be the best insulator and keep the ice around the longest.   Record this in One Note.

4. Use 3 ice cubes, and put in one of the cups.  Repeat this for the remaining cups. 

5. Observe the cups throughout the day.

6. Develop a conclusion.  As the ice cubes begins to melt, compare the results you see with your hypothesis. 
Include the following in your conclusion:
*Was your hypothesis correct or incorrect?
*Which material was the best insulator?
*Which material was the best conductor?
*Based on your observations, what other materials would also be good insulators?
*Based on your observations, what other materials would also be good conductors?

Find the Eday folder.  Open the document called "Heat Insulators" and record your conclusions!]]> 2018-01-11 20:15:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jodi_molitor/eday/wish/220779180
