Microworlds

5M has moved on to our next Science unit- Microworlds. As a class we started with properties of a magnifier and have recently looked and identified mystery items that the students brought in! What has been the coolest part about microscopes? What do you think would be a cool specimen to look at? Remember just because the microworlds are small, that doesn't mean your posts should be!

Human Body Bee at Clarke University

On April 20 the Carver 5th grade traveled to Clarke along with the district wide 5th grades. While there were a lot of students there, we still had a lot of fun! We bounced on giant balls, we ran relays, we touched brains, and so much more! What was your favorite part about our day? Did you learn anything new?
