The Incredible Shrinking Marshmallow

Hopefully today's lab gave you all a memorable visual of Boyle's Law...when temperature remains constant, pressure and volume have an inverse relationship. Increased pressure...decreases volume. Decreased pressure...increases volume.

Great work 5th graders!!!  Here are the pictures of your amazing onion cells....oh and one of a certain someone doing his "I won't be able to smell onions now" face :)

Ground water investigation

Great work today getting your layered soil box ready for the ground water investigation! Honestly, I was terrified that the room would look like a sand box after you left, but I was very impressed with how clean it was. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!! I'm looking forward to our investigation tomorrow :)
