Weeks 7-9

We have wrapped up our unit on matter, and we are diving head first into weather. Questions we are exploring include:
  • What affect does the Sun have on water above and on the surface of the Earth?
  • Which tools can be used to gather weather information and how should we record the data?
  • How does a weather map indicate weather conditions?
  • How can we use weather maps to make predictions about weather changes?


In social studies, we are beginning to look at American Indians of early Texas, asking:
  • How did American Indian groups in Texas organize their government systems?
  • Why are American Indians important to the history of Texas then and now?
We will have a brief unit on health as science during Red Ribbon Week.
