How Much Fat?

In science, we are talking about healthy and unhealthy snacks.  Yesterday our class did an experiment to see how much fat is in the snack foods we eat.   First we looked at fat (oil) and what it looked like on a paper towel.  Then we tested four snacks; pretzels, ritz crackers and potato chips.  You can see our results below.  Students then wrote about the results and what the results meant in their science journals.  We also attached this picture in their science journals.  

Science - Ways to Stop Germs

Today in science, we talked about ways to stop germs.  Ask your child if they can describe three ways to stop the spread of germs!  Ready, set, go!

Just in case, here are 3 ways:

• Wash your hands
• Sneeze into a tissue
• Cough into your arm

There will be a science test on staying healthy at the end of the week!  I'll keep you updated with topics to discuss at home, each day!  

An easy way to find all the posts related to this test is click on 'staying healthy' on the right hand side of this page.   If you are viewing on a mobile phone, scroll down to the bottom and click view as web page, then click on the 'staying healthy' link.
