Arctic Story Boards, Prototype 2 and Step by Step Drawing

Final Reminder: If you are wanting to place an order from the March Scholastic Book Order forms please do so by Monday March 11th 2019.

Monday will be our last day for completing our Google Slides Arctic Animal Research presentation. Practicing typing is a great way to become more efficient and confident when using technology to type up good copies and showcase our learning. Here are a few websites that offer free online typing practice:

Arctic Story Boards

This week we started making Arctic Story Boards. These are graphic organizers that will help us to write an Arctic Story. 

After reading many Arctic stories and paying attention to Setting, Characters, Beginning, Problem, Solution, Ending and Messages or Lessons of the Story we are now ready to write our own!

After completing our Story Boards we will be better able to have a clear idea of our story parts in order to be more successful at writing. 

Science
Prototype 2

After testing our insulators for 10 minutes, 20 minutes and finally 30 minutes we had to decide if we wanted to add, change or build our insulators differently. Next week we will be testing for 1 hour, 2 hours and finally 2.5 hours and trying to keep our ice frozen for even longer. 

We reviewed the principals of Heat Transfer through Convection, Conduction and Radiation.

Step by Step Drawings

Today we practiced and did a good copy drawing of the Arctic Animal that we are researching. We used a step-by step guide to help us improve our drawings. 

Next week we will be creating a Ted Harrison Arctic landscape painting and adding our Arctic Animal to our Art Piece. We will then use these as our title page for our Arctic Story and also as a title page slide for our Animal Research Google Slides presentation.
