K Nex Build/Math Connections
We have been discussing simple machines--levers, pulleys, incline planes, gears etc. We also discussed how math relates to these ideas. In examining ratios and proportions, we learned that in simple machines: F1/F2 = D1/D2 where F = force, and D=distance. Students had a chance to do some inquiry based learning by creating structures with K Nex and experimenting with force and distance.

Field Trip Information
Monday, May 9,2011
Our tour is scheduled to start at the capitol at 9:30, and they would like us to arrive at 9:15am. In order to make this happen, we need to be on the 32nd & Osceola RTD 8:28am bus. That means that we need to meet at school at 8:10am, and leave the school at 8:15am. With all three 4th grades heading downtown, I wanted to be pro-active in ensuring that we are on-time. I was hopeful that we could help each other by carpooling, etc to make sure we can all be here on time, ready to experience our downtown adventure!
Please let me know if you have any questions and/or concerns, so we can work together to get everyone here on-time and ready to go on Monday!
Thanks so much! Amy
Remember: Backpacks should contain water, lunch, camera(optional), notebook, pencil or pen.
Wear comfortable shoes because we will be doing some walking!
