Oobleck Experiment
Oobleck Experiment: In this experiment, students made a substance similar to quicksand, but much more fun! Oobleck is actually a non-newtonian fluid. That is, it acts like a liquid when being poured,
but like a solid when a force is acting on it. You can grab it and then it will ooze out of your hands.

Iditarod
This week our class has been reading stories, practicing comprehension skills, writing, researching, and learning about the Iditarod. The Iditarod is a dog sled race that takes place every March in Alaska. It is sometimes called the "Last Great Race." Although the race is over 1150 miles long, the race is officially 1,049 miles, since Alaska is the 49th state in the USA . The Iditarod trail goes from Anchorage to Nome. Each student selected a musher and a team of dogs in which they will track throughout the Iditarod. This week the students did research and wrote a biography on their musher. The official Iditarod starts in Anchorage, Alaska on the first Saturday of March each year. The 2017 race gets underway at 10 a.m., on Saturday, March 4. We will be tracking the mushers in school throughout the Iditarod and mapping their location. If students would like to check where their musher is, you can go to the website http://iditarod.com or directly to the musher page http://iditarod.com/race/2017/mushers. The students are really excited and looking forward to following their mushers progress!!!
