Mystery Skype Fun!

You've heard all about it... Here's what it looks like! We LOVE to Mystery Skype! Special thanks to Mrs. Allen's 5th grade class in Springfield, MO! We've added them to our Mystery Skype Map at the bottom of our blog.

Separating Mixtures

In our study of elements, we are learning about mixtures and compounds. In a fun lab with Mrs. Deeley, we explored the many ways to separate items in a mixture. We learned about magnetism, filters, solubility... This lab was fun because we got to figure out for ourselves how to separate the sawdust, sand, salt, and iron filings in our mixtures.
