Food Chains

Hello everyone!
We are learning about food chains and food webs in class.  The students will need to create their own food web and sustain it.  There is an awesome BrainPop game called Food Fight.  Students will use this simulated game to create a food web that centered around an animal of their choice.  They will have to complete against another classmate to see who can create the best food web.

Here is a video we saw in class.

Here is the link to the Food Fight game!

Fractions!

Hello everyone!
Today, we watched an animated video titled "The Weird Number".  It introduces many fraction concepts in a fun way.  The students seemed to really enjoy it!  I encourage you to watch it together at home and use some of these questions below to guide a discussion:

The Weird Number video link
1) How are fractions and whole numbers similar?  How are they different?
2) What does it mean that whole numbers can "change forms"?  Give examples.
3) How are fractions and division similar?  Give examples.
4) How did two-thirds escape from the sheriff "763"? 
5) How can you use what you learned from this video to find equivalent fractions?

Have fun!
