Science with Miss Molly!

Wow!  Science sure has changed since I was in 5th grade.  The kids look forward to Wednesdays, because it means they have an hour with Miss Molly, librarian and ex-6th grade science teacher extraordinaire.  The love learning about science in general, but with Miss Molly, it's truly a treat.

Throughout the year we have been learning about various concepts and subjects, including the Solar System, the weather, the different systems in our body, the vascular system in plants, classifying, and now we are learning about the Periodic Table and formulas.  Yes, you read correctly...the Periodic Table!  

It's a challenging concept for anyone, and for 5th graders it's a giant topic.  They are required to know about how the Periodic Table works, but are not going to need to memorize the table.  Miss Molly has been going through this lesson with them during our Wednesday sessions and the students are doing their best to soak up as much information as possible before testing beings at the end of April.

Yes, TESTING!  It's coming up.  Room 11 will be ready for the challenge!
