A collection of poems will be due Friday, May 16.
Math: None today due to extra time with science; we’ll have extra math time tomorrow. Homework is to work on MobyMax Math or Khan Academy for 15 minutes or more.
Science: We made a list of activities plants and animals do with their energy:
- Move
- Grow and reproduce
- Maintain and repair their bodies
- Eliminate wastes
Plants and animals also need a source of building material (vitamins, minerals, nutrients) for growth and repair.
We’ll check in on our plant needs experiments (photos here) soon.
