To be a scientist is to view data creatively!
“You matter-unless you multiply yourself by the speed of light squared-then you energy!”
Fifth grade started the year in Science with the study of the physical properties of matter; such as mass, density, conductors/insulators, magnetism, texture, color, and even taste! Students were asked to create an “alien” with different physical properties of matter, all determined by a roll of a die! Each student demonstrated his or her knowledge of physical properties of matter with a unique “alien.”
