Learning Log Week 12-13

MATH: I did Dreambox math.  I also did study Island for 1 1/2 hours.

LANGUAGE ARTS:  I worked on Reading Eggs and reading to my mom.  I did handwriting too.

SCIENCE:  We got a big battery, and we made a light bulb light up.  We connected to wires to the positive and negative.  Then we tried putting things next to the wire like plastic to see if the electricity would run through it and still light up the bulb.  We tried a nickel and that still lighted up the bulb all the way.  Some things are conductors and it lets the electricity go so it can move.  Some things are insulators and they block the electricity.

ENGINEERING:  I worked on some more projects that I'm going to turn in.  I'm trying to catch up on a couple of these.

HISTORY:  I learned about Utah.  When there were people growing gardens there were too many crickets eating up the gardens and seagulls ate the crickets, so that's why that's the state bird.  Also, Utah is a desert.  That means it's kind of dry.
