Science: In class, we will study physical and chemical properties of matter and mixtures.
In the science lab, students will continue to study Stars and the Solar System. In this week's activity, students will discover that gravity exists on all planets and moons, but the amount of gravity is different becasue it depends on how massive the object is. In the activity, Gravity Jump, students will measure how high they can on Earth and then calculate how high they could jump on other moons and planets in our solar system.
