Village Green Scientists

Fifth-graders at Village Green were engaged in researching matters that matter in MATTER. During this lab research/investigation led by fifth-grade teachers, Dr. Thomas and Dr. Venzen, students learned and had hands-on experience with the method of water displacement, using and understanding how to read a thermometer, along with making hypotheses and predictions. Students learned that it was possible to find the volume of irregularly shaped items, such as a rock, marble, shell, curved shaped magnet and the like. Students enjoyed their experience as a team. Students also learned how to read a thermometer in efforts of better understanding temperatures in Celsius and Fahrenheit, as it relates to the boiling and freezing point of water. They were able to work together and share ideas about Matter. The change of environment from the classroom to the Science Lab was indeed the cherry on top!
