Since everyone is new to each other, we decided to practice using the norms we built together by doing some team work activities! We used a special scientific tool to build and break down cup towers, and we also investigated a "Mystery Tube" with our groups, creating our first model with a partner, trying to figure out what the inside of the tube looks like without peeling back the duct tape.
We had our first "Scientist Circle," too, practicing talking like a scientist while in a large-group setting. We're off to a great start in fifth grade!
