Mrs. Pettyjohn's
5th Grade Science
Students will investigate the processess that led to the formation of sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels. Students will review how landforms such as deltas, canyons, and sand dunes are the result of changes to Earth's surface (Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition) by wind, water, and ice.
Students will have a vocabulary quiz on Thursday over the following words. They may practice the words on my quizlet at the link below. https://quizlet.com/_4316hy Sedimentary Rock-a type of rock formed when layers of sediment are pressed together and harden over time Igneous Rock- a rock that forms when magma or lava cools and hardens Metamorphic Rock- a rock that has been changed by heat or pressure into another kind of rock Rock Cycle- the slow continuous process by which rocks change from one type to another Magma-liquid, molten rock beneath Earth's surface Compacted-pressed down Cemented-stuck together Fossil-the remains or traces of a plant or an animal that lived long ago Cast-a model of an organism, formed when sediment fills a mold and hardens Mold-an impression of an organism, formed when sediment hardens around the organism Please see the link below to order yearbooks. https://drive.google.com/a/jarrellisd.org/file/d/0B9AWrNye9rqNWlBnYWVHT0kxN3UtZjIxdzIwQ1psaDg5Um9J/view?usp=sharing If you have not signed up for parent teacher conferences, please call your child's teacher at 512-746-4805 to schedule your conference time. 11/27/17 Big Kahuna Reward Trip to Hat Creek Burgers 12-6-17 EAFK Ceremony 12-8-17 5th Grade Book Order Due 12/11-15/17 Tip Top Holiday Sales 12/12-14/17 Benchmark Testing 12/12/17 Holiday in the Hallways 5-6 Choir Concert 6-6:30 12/22/17 End of Grading Period Early Release at 12:15 1/8/18 First Day back from Winter break 1/15/18 Student and Staff Holiday 1/31/18 EAFK Ceremony 2/19/18 Student Holiday/Staff Inservice Classroom Wishlist for hands on experiments- glue sticks, foil, Christmas Lights (used is perfect), light corn syrup, vegetable oil, green dishliquid, large red food coloring, large green food coloring, variety pack food coloring, borax

Students will learn that energy occurs in many forms. Students will explore the uses of energy, including mechanical, light, thermal, electrical, and sound. Students will finish learning about circuits, light and sound through hands on labs this week. Students will begin Earth Science on Friday as they are introduced to Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition.
Students will have a test over Energy and it's different forms on Thursday. They will be need to study their journals and text books. Please see the link below to order yearbooks.
