Language Arts - I wrote a short summary of The Maze Runner. I finished up All About Spelling level 3 and am just doing review until we are ready to get the next one to start. I was finally able to get Death Cure from the library (book 3 in the Maze Runner series) to read and so I am reading that. I also was able to get the movies for the first two books and am excited to watch those. I also did a paragraph and supporting details assignment from my Writing Skills A book.
Math - I did lessons on calculating percentages in Learn Math Fast. I also practiced my XtraMath math facts.
Makerspace - This week we took apart toys and put them back together in different ways to make FrankenToys.
Art - I am still working on the colored pencil project of a pistol.
Science - This week we read some from The Story of Science and we also learned about the three methods of heat transfer--convection, conduction, and radiation. We watched a Bill Nye about Heat and also some other Youtube videos about heat. We drew a diagram that showed the different methods of heat transfer.
Other - In my cooking class at co-op we made stir fry. It turned out good but I like it better when we make treats! In my speech and poetry class we had to write poems about an item that mentioned all of our senses. I did a poem about a cracker.
In my diagram:
Radiation is the heat coming up from the fire through the air
Convection is the heat in the water molecules, causing the hotter molecules to rise
Conduction is the heat traveling through the pan and into the handle. I made my handle look wood, so it isn't a very good conductor, but if it was metal, it would get really hot!
