All last week we learned about the properties of wood, paper, and fabric in science. We've been working together with Mrs. Showalter's class and learning lots!
We started off the week by learning the names of and exploring different types of wood, paper, and fabric.
On Tuesday students worked on taking apart materials. In our class students took apart cardboard boxes and put them pack together. In Mrs. Showalter's class students took apart the warp and woof of a piece of fabric.
After taking materials apart on Tuesday we put materials together on Wednesday! Students had a chance to make a small piece of plywood and then sorted items made from wood from those that were not made from wood.
They also had a chance to weave a piece of fabric in Mrs. Showalter's class.
On Thursday students made a piece of recycled paper and made paper boxes with 6th grade helpers.
On Friday students had a chance to practice staining and washing a piece of fabric. They found they were able to get the ketchup stain out using soap -- but not the mustard stain!
