science test info

Hi all!

As I mentioned in class, our Science test on our Weather unit has been moved to Wednesday afternoon, and not tomorrow as I originally posted in my last blog update!

Below are some helpful study resources you should definitely review in order to totally kick butt on your test! :)

This link has all the information on the weather instruments you'll need to know:

Here are some videos by Bill Nye about atmospheric (air) pressure, the water cycle, climate, and the seasons:

Here are some videos on why we have seasons, explanations about climate vs weather, and longitude and latitude:

And last but not least- here is a great video on air pressure (I admit, it's a bit boring in all honesty! haha. I promise that it is worth watching though as the information and explanations are actually really great!)

Now that you have all of the very best resources to help you study, you're going to absolutely nail this test, I know it!!!!!! Below I will paste the information that was handed out in class today that tells you exactly what you'll need to know for Wednesday. If you have any questions, be sure to write them down tonight and bring them to class tomorrow. We will be doing our final test review Tuesday afternoon as a group, and we can cover any areas that you might need help with together! Just make sure to bring your fabulous questions and enthusiasm with you :)

Happy studying my little meteorologists!


Science test

What you need to know:
 4 types of precipitation
EACH part of the water cycle (printed off for you), and be able to explain how they happen.
Atmospheric/air pressure- how does air move
3 (and 4*-nimbus) types of clouds
Weather instruments- what they’re called and what they’re for
Climate vs weather
Effects of climate change
Convection currents
Longitude and latitude
Seasons and why we have them
All definitions (printed for you)


Also- hint hint, wink wink, nudge nudge- make sure you could explain how to make your own barometer at home, and how it works. Just in case someone were to....um.... put that on a test. You never know. Of course, as your teacher, I would never tell you that I would absolutely, definitely, 100% have a question like that on a test, but IF I was going to write a Science test for my class, I would probably include a question like that. On a Wednesday. This week. But of course, I would never tell my students something like that ahead of time, would I? That would be silly of me ;)

Social Studies resources- Atlantic Region fun!

Hello there Explorers! Have you had fun this week on our imaginary journey across Canada and the Atlantic Region? I sure hope so, because I have been loving it! I wanted to provide you with some helpful links and resources that you can review at home, and share with your families too! Here is the link to the song we are learning that tells us all about the Canadian provinces, territories, and their capital cities. It's a pretty fast little song with lots of lyrics, so I know that it takes some practice to remember them all! Not to worry though, you can read along using the printed lyrics I handed out in class, or if you're practicing at home, you can find the song lyrics in the comment section below the Youtube video as well and print an additional copy. I know this song can be a bit tough to memorize, but it's really great because it gives a few key facts about each province that will help paint a picture in your mind about what makes each place unique and special. ...

Place Value and Rounding

Hi all, Here are some links to on-line tutorials that will help you master place value, and rounding! PARENTS- as we move into our year, the importance of students having memorized their multiplication tables is crucial to their success. I HIGHLY encourage practicing these facts as a family in order to get out kiddos feeling confident and ready to conquer Grade Five Math! At Parent-Teacher Conferences, I will have some booklets available that include helpful strategies and tricks to support students with their multiplication facts. History of numbers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZH0YnFpjwU Why are we learning all this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmJ-4B-mS-Y Why you can't really divide by zero https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKmGVE85GUU Place Value: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5Qf0qSSJFI&t=1s Rounding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd-E18EqSVk&t=427s
