We dove right back into learning during the week after Spring Break! In science, we used different methods to sort rocks by size, including screening and shaking on a paper plate. We separated them into large and small pebbles, large and small gravel, and sand.
Then we experimented to find an earth material even smaller than sand -- silt! But is there an earth material smaller than silt? We'll be finding out soon!
In Junior Achievement, we learned about businesses in our community. We got to plot them on a map, deciding where would be a good place for each one. We talked about why a school might be located near homes or why a restaurant, a barbershop, and a bank might be located in the same area.
