Here is another elements song. This one has the words so you can sing along! A good friend of mine recommended it.

Look back at week 14 for a good video on how the Periodic Table of Elements was created.

Geography

We are thoroughly enjoying the tv series How the States Got Their Shapes. It is on Netflix or click

The first episode talks about how rivers and water shaped some of our states. It goes along with this set of weeks well.

We also bought the app

Stack the States

. It is a great review game to play.

We are studying the Great Lakes and Niagara Falls.

Math

When I was searching for ways to enjoy studying metric measurement this popped up.

I think we will do this this week to study measurement! The original poster just used this as a rainy day game but it seems like a really fun way to work on measuring to me!
