Today in 5th grade science we did a super fun investigation! We used an electrical circuit the students created in class (with a battery, wires and a lightbulb,) heat lamps, a laser pointer and a magnet to determine whether or not a metal spoon, an iron nail, a popsicle stick, a plastic spoon and aluminum foil could be a conductor of heat, a conductor of electricity, a reflector or magnetic. We made predictions beforehand and some students were very amazed at what the data actually showed after the investigation! #pespantherpride

On those days she will read a book and also have new foods to taste! Yummy! #pespantherpride
