Fat, Fur and Feathers
Students explore whether fat, fur and feathers keep them warm on snow/ice.
Conservation of Energy
Students learn about conservation of energy, measure the bounce of a ball at different heights and then use elastic potential energy to make a paper glider fly having kinetic energy.
Digestive System (Grade 5)
Students model how food travels through our digestive system and do a digestive system art work.
Bird's Nest
Students read a book about nests and then build their own bird's nest.
Biodiversity and Ecosystems - Clay Pressings
