The weeks are flying by and are packed FULL of events! The highlights for this week are: quiz on the Civil War this WED, middle school visits this THURS, and our Electricity and Magnetism test will be next MON, 5/7. The quiz this week will be open book so students can use their notes and textbook to help them. For the middle school visits, please make sure your child is in uniform and remind them to be on their best behavior so they represent Spalding well. Science textbooks are coming home today so that students can work on the Chapter 4 Review (pages 226 & 227) to get prepared for Monday's test.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

b. Design a complete, simple electric circuit, and explain all necessary components.
c. Investigate and test common materials to determine if they are insulators or conductors of electricity.
S5P3. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about magnetism and its relationship to electricity.
a. Construct an argument based on experimental evidence to communicate the differences in function and purpose of an electromagnet and magnet.
(Clarification statement: Function is limited to understanding temporary and permanent magnetism.)
