Exploring a Sunken Ship

 We got to pretend that we were swimming to a ship wreck from a long time ago and pick out artifacts.

Students swimming to get artifacts.

 After we got the artifacts we got to look into our History Alive books, look for the artifact, and write down why this artifact was important.

This is our History Alive book it was a very important part of this activity.

Enrichment Clusters by Maura
The whole fourth grade is doing different clubs. There are different categories that you could've gotten into from doing a survey: sketching and drawing (art), under the sea discovery, sports, and computer animation. We can learn about the different jobs that people do in these categories. We are learning a lot and it's so much fun!


Artifacts by Nathan
In Social Studies we pretended we were scuba divers and "swam" to get artifacts from when the New World was discovered.  Then we found out more about them and how the explorers used them.  We found out about an astrolabe and other artifacts.

TASK: DESIGNING A CIRCUIT

 Drawing the schematic

 Building the circuit

The circuit worked

Building a Circuit by Lauren and Lachlan

This week in class we got to plan and make a schematic of the circuit we were going to make.  We needed three batteries, two light bulbs, two switches (or one) and wires.  We hooked up the wires to the batteries and bulbs and we had to turn the switch on and off to make it work.  We could build a series circuit or a parallel circuit.
