Investigating the Periodic Table

by

Today, while in the computer lab, you have a mission. We are going to investigate the periodic table and elements online. Below is a list of sites that will help you on the journey. I will be updating these as you explore, so you might want to refresh. Be able to tell me 3 things that you learned about Chemistry, the Periodic Table, or Elements at the end of your exploration. Next week, we will be back in the science lab.

Vertebrates and Invertebrates

by

Last week we learned about vertebrates. What is a vertebrate?

A vertebrate is an animal that has a backbone.

So if there is a group of animals called vertebrates, then there is name for the group of animals that do NOT have backbones. These are called INVERTEBRATES.

Let’s investigate more about VERTEBRATES and INVERTEBRATES.

Here are some links that talk about animal classification…or how scientists group animals together.

Here are some videos on United Streaming.

Stellarium

by

Here is a great program for viewing the night sky that students may be interested in playing around with. There are several of these type programs on the Internet if you do a search. The one that we have been looking at in 3rd grade, and will in 5th also, is Stellarium. It is available at Stellarium.org. It can be downloaded to Windows, Mac, and Linux.
