Week 13 Grade 5 May 18-21

Don't forget Monday's 5th Grade Science time at 3:00 (Italian time) - this is time for questions about Science News or your Science assignments - here's the Zoom link 

For the last weeks of Science, I am going to go back to the way we started the year - what is Science and how does a scientist work?

Scientists look deeper at the world and ask 2 main questions:

• How is something made (it's STRUCTURE)
• How does something work (it's FUNCTION)
  

I am going to challenge you to think about some common and ordinary things in a new way. Today we start with toothpaste! Something I hope you use every day but don't think about.

Please investigate toothpaste by creating a report that has:

• 3 different ways that toothpaste works, that is 3 different things that toothpaste does. Please answer in complete sentences! A good sentence would start "One thing that toothpaste does is ..." or "One function of toothpaste is ...".
• 3 different ways that toothpaste is made that helps it perform its functions. A good sentence would start is "One way that that toothpaste is made is..." or "One of the things in toothpaste that makes it work well is ....".
