UOI:

Today we joined Ms. Schwarz’s grade 4 class to do some experiments. We used yogurt containers, a tuning fork, salt, plastic wrap, and water. The salt jumped and made a buzzing sound and the water splashed about. Vibrations was a new word we used a lot today! The students had a lot of fun. Ask them what happened when we hit our shoe once and then twice!

Homework – complete questions 1-5 from today’s experiments
