Grade 5 Week of October 29

Topic covered for the Week- Substances and Mixtures


Fun Fact

Chemical Formulas for Proteins
Our bodies rely on the proteins found in meats and dairy products. Proteins are complicated compounds made carbon, hydrogen and other elements. Each molecule is extremely large and has a high number of atoms. As a result, proteins have complex chemical formulas. For example, hemoglobin, the chemical that carries oxygen in blood, is made of protein. There are different types of hemoglobin, but the formula for the most common one is C2952H4664N812O832S8Fe4.


Grades 6th Week of October 29

Topic covered for the week- Using Energy and Heat

Real-World Science

Roller Coasters  In addition to being both scary and fun, roller coasters are carefully designed based on scientific principles including the physics of energy. As a coaster is pulled up the first hill, its potential energy increases. This potential energy transformed into kinetic energy as the coaster moves downhill. As it travels up the next hill, its kinetic energy transforms into potential energy. Each hill on the track is shorter than the previous hill because some of the original potential energy transforms to thermal energy due to friction.

Reminder- Entrance ticket will be this upcoming Wednesday on vocabulary words.

chemical energy stored in and released from the bonds between atoms
electric energy in an electric current
energy ability to cause change
kinetic energy energy due to motion
mechanical energy sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in a system
nuclear energy stored in and released from the nucleus of an atom
potential energy stored energy due to the interaction between objects or particles
radiant energy carried by electromagnetic waves
