So, whatcha know about sound WAVES? Quiz today, and then you'll start looking 👀 into light! #sciencehappenseveryday

Now that you've shown what you know about sound, we are ready to shed some light... on LIGHT WAVES! Kicking off with some basic facts, and the reflection challenge. #sciencehappenseveryday

Happy Friday! Today we'll use some gummy bears to explore how light waves interact with matter. And...... the Haunted Hallway debuts tonight, are you ready to get scared silly?!? #sciencehappenseveryday

Light comes in many forms, most of which we cannot see with our eyes! Today, we'll explore the whole electromagnetic spectrum. #sciencehappenseveryday

Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 Today you'll summarize your studies of light and sound waves to prep for Thursday's test. Let's see those costumes! #sciencehappenseveryday

It's review day! What do you about SOUND and LIGHT waves? Let's take a trip thru our unit 2 memories, and then play some review games. Test tomorrow! #sciencehappenseveryday

Spongebob knows his stuff... do you? Today's the day to SHOW WHAT YOU KNOW on the Unit 2 Test on Waves! After, you'll explore which 'colors' of noise might help you with memory, reading, and reaction time! #sciencehappenseveryday

Wrapping up unit 2 with an exploration of how we communicate using analog and digital signals. Which category do the sound and light waves we use every day fall into? #sciencehappenseveryday

Our last day of unit 2... let's close out learning about how we use different types of waves (signals) to communicate. And a game to see- how good are YOU at communicating a simple task? #sciencehappenseveryday

Off I go (for the day) to Fairview Lakes YMCA! Visiting Macopin's 6th graders (who are there on their 3 day/2 night trip) to teach them all about bats 🦇. I'm getting back to my environmental ed roots and I love it! 💛🖤#sciencehappenseveryday

Here we go unit 3! We'll kick off our studies of THERMAL ENERGY with a bit of a "magic" trick.... can you explain what's going on with the ice blocks? #sciencehappenseveryday

Covering the basics of thermal energy today... prepping for the COLD CUP CHALLENGE, which starts tomorrow! #sciencehappenseveryday

How do you like to keep your drinks chilled? Which type of vessel works best? Cold Cup Challenge starts today! #sciencehappenseveryday

Today we'll learn about CONDUCTION heat transfer, and analyze our data from round 1 of the cold cup challenge! #sciencehappenseveryday

Love your air fryer? You're using CONVECTION to heat up your food. Today, an experiment sandwich: hot water cup testing and our second type of heat transfer. #sciencehappenseveryday

Happy Friday! Today we'll learn about the 3rd type of heat transfer, RADIATION. We can also make some final conclusions about our Cup Challenge experiments from this week. #sciencehappenseveryday

Insulators block the flow of heat.... but HOW? Let's break out those "microscope eyes" 👀 to imagine what's going on inside these materials. #sciencehappenseveryday

CONDUCTORS are good at letting energy transfer through them. Today, we'll learn about these materials, analyze more cup designs, and perhaps start your own Ultimate Cup Design! #sciencehappenseveryday

There is no such thing as cold (scientifically)! We wear cozy clothes to keep our heat from escaping outwards. Let's apply all we've learned in unit 3 to our ULTIMATE CUP DESIGNS! #sciencehappenseveryday

Happy Thanksgiving! May you have a lovely day and long weekend filled with lots of yummy food, good company, and science! #sciencehappenseveryday #hereforthemashedpotatoes
