Dear Families,
Today we went on a field trip to Union College to learn
about volcanos. There we saw rocks from volcanos and minerals. Professor Holly Frey and students from Union
College gave us a tour around the school. The upper elementary started downstairs
with the students and the lower elementary went upstairs on the third floor
with Professor Frey. Downstairs we worked on something called “can you out run
lava?” and we used corn syrup. We first predicted if it went fast or slow if it
was hot, cold or if it had a little water or a lot of water or if it had a lot
of sand in it or not that much. When all of us were done there we went upstairs
and we talked about how some rocks float and some don’t and we all got two
rocks and tested them. When we were done we went back downstairs and we all got
to see a baking soda and vinegar volcano explode. This week we also are
learning about plant and animal cells and we are making a model of a plant and
animal cell, we are also each studying a certain cell part.
Sincerely,
Kalia, Tonya, Nancy, Patriots, and Tories
