Synthesizing what we've learned about matter and heredity (their choice) to visually communicate our content knowledge. Great way to review! 🤓 #ProudtoBEatRFE

"Don't eat the data!" (At least not until we analyze it.) Today we learned that variations in traits within a population help the species survive. Our "prey" will pass on advantageous traits and we "predators" will need to adapt to those changes. #ProudtoBEatRFE

Studying the change in the peppered moth population during England's Industrial Revolution. As the habitat changed, trait variations helped certain members of the species survive. This gives us evidence to support Darwin's theory of natural selection. #ProudtoBEatRFE

Genetic Monster Families! #ProudtoBEatRFE

[Beth Carter, Ed.S. @BethJCarter]

After a long week off, we are back to creating our generic monster families to play around with Punnett Squares. Getting closer to mastering inherited vs acquired traits. #ProudtoBEatRFE

We started the day dropping our "medical supplies" off the school roof and finished it playing with fractions! It was a wonderful day in 5th grade! #ProudtoBEatRFE

How can we set up and investigation to model balanced and unbalanced forces? #ProudtoBEatRFE

[Beth Carter, Ed.S. @BethJCarter]

We love @CUBoulder's Phet Simulations!!! Thank you for helping us study net forces! #ProudtoBEatRFE

[Beth Carter, Ed.S. @BethJCarter]

New unit, new questions, and new ideas! #ProudtoBEatRFE

Adding to our understanding of temperature patterns. ☀️ 🌍 Yesterday, we solidified our understanding that temperature patterns vary based on latitude and time of year. Today's focus is on the concentration of sunlight on our spherical planet. #ProudtoBEatRFE
