Measuring as Scientists!

In math we have learned so many ways to solve division problems.  It is getting easier to complete our work and we are working great with our tables.

During science we have spent time wondering how we can measure like scientists.  We used a pan balance to compare and measure mass of solids, used rulers to measure the length and width of solids and finally learned to use the graduated cylinder to find the volume of liquids.  After comparing the texture, mass and color (describing the properties of our matter) of the same solids and liquids, we learned to read the meniscus when discussing the volume of a liquid.  Here are some pictures to show our hard work.
