Last week 5th grade students investigated shadows. They collected data throughout the day as they measured the length of the shadow and the direction of the shadow. They discovered that when the sun appears lower in the sky, the shadows are longer. When the sun the sun is high in the sky the shadow gets shorter. The direction shadow changes based on where the sun is at

Today 5th graders were geologists measuring the boundaries of the playground blacktop. Early surveyors had to measure boundaries using a 33ft long chain. We used a 33ft long string for our measurements. Students decided that this would have been a very hard, boring job if they had to measure the boundaries of an entire colony. Especially if it was cold outside!
