Salamander Science Weeks 6 -9

In Salamander Class week 6 we studied Chapter 10, lesson 3 on Mixtures. The students answered the question, "How do you make a mixture?"

Week 6 Vocabulary: mixture, dissolve, solution, combination, separate, filter

Because of the 10/10 holiday, they had no homework. We did their homework in class the following week.

Week 7: We reviewed last week's lesson on Mixtures, and made a fruit shake experiments. A fruit shake is a yummy and healthy example of a mixture.

Drinking our solutions and mixtures

Week8: review and Midterm

Week 9: We are beginning a new chapter on Matter in Motion (page 362-364). The goal for this week is for the students to be able to describe motion and how something has moved using the vocabulary words, position, motion, friction, lever, repel and speed. The ESL lesson will also reinforce position words: in, on, under, next to, near, left, right.

Here is a link to study their vocabulary with various online games.

On this week, Halloween falls on our Friday so I want to do a fun Halloween experiment with them. We will make green slime and dancing ghosts.
