Who doesn't love to listen to a book read aloud? I know that even at my age, I really enjoy it. Here are a couple of websites that do just that. You'll find books of all levels. You may find some of your old favorites from your younger years or enjoy listening to some at more advanced levels.
Speaking of books, how is your reading coming along this summer? Have you set aside time to read each day or several days a week? If you haven't, it's not too late! Maybe listening to some books will help jump start your own reading if it has stalled over the summer. Remember that some time spent reading is better than none! ;-) Enjoy! How about taking some time today to review division? You may want to start with a quick review of basic division facts and then move to long division. There are videos and games on our Multiplication & Division page. You can find printable long division worksheets on math-drills.com or just write your own on some scrap paper.
Here's a video to review basic division facts.-->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4BF8wHvi4o Remember this favorite video on the steps to long division?-->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uZiqk_ZdcA Remember the Turtlehead method for double-digit multiplication? --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hcKERTnNi0
More review (including how to multiply even larger numbers) can be found on our Multiplication and Division page. Happy reviewing!
Apollo 11 was the first space mission that landed people on the moon. There were three astronauts on that mission: Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins. On July 16, 1969, the astronauts were launched into space from a launchpad in Florida. On July 20, 1969, two of the astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, set foot on the moon.
From 9:00 - 4:00 PM TODAY, the AB Dow Museum of Science & Art is hosting an Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Celebration. Here are some links to read more about Apollo 11: You will study Space Science in fifth grade. For now, why not take a look at our Space Science section for a preview of some upcoming lessons?
Midland County is under a heat advisory until 8:00 PM on Saturday. Meteorologists are predicting air temperatures to be in the 90s with a heat index of 95-105.
What can you do to stay safe? Here are some tips from the National Weather Service:
Predicting and reporting the weather is not magic. It involves math, science, and technology, as you'll see in the videos below. Are you sweating a lot today? Check out the video to see how your skin works. Stay safe!
Remember all of the multiplication facts tests that we took last year? It would be a fantastic idea to take a few practice tests throughout the summer to keep the facts fresh in your memory.
In addition to reviewing with the help from the video above, you may want to visit our Multiplication & Division page for more practice. After that, why not try a test or two? Challenge: Can you get 90+ correct in five minutes (or fewer)? If you don't have any tests on hand, I attached one below. I'd like to extend a HUGE thank you to math-drills.com for creating such a wide variety of user-friendly worksheets and tests! THANK YOU!
Fireworks, glow sticks, campfires, and roasting marshmallows are some examples of chemical changes that you may have seen over the Fourth of July holiday.
Let's take a look at two types of changes: A chemical change happens when one type of matter changes into another type of matter with totally different properties. Most chemical changes cannot be reversed because totally new substances are formed. Example: Burning paper is a chemical change. The paper turns to ash, and that cannot be reversed. A physical change is any change in size, shape, form, or state of matter. The matter stays the same, only some physical properties change. Most physical changes can be reversed. Example: Ripping paper is a physical change. The paper has changed in size and shape, but it’s still paper.
You know that the "Star-Spangled Banner" is our national anthem. Do you know the meanings of these words?
