Our field trip to Green Meadow's Farm is coming up soon. Please remember to send in the permission slip and fee by Friday, September 27th.
Green Meadow's Farm
Any parent who is chaperoning any Centerville field trips must have attended a Parent Volunteer Orientation (this could have been in the past); this is an FCPS policy. Please make sure to attend one of the upcoming orientations if you would like to chaperone. All chaperones must provide their own transportation to Green Meadow's Farm due to limited space on the bus.
Today we started an experiment to show the water cycle. Ms. Bowie set up a bowl with water and then put a dry cup in the middle. After this, she put cling wrap on the top and sealed it with a rubberband. Then she put a heat source (the lamp is supposed to represent the sun) over it. Already the children were able to see the condensation on the cling wrap. This represented the sun heating the water (evaporation) and turning it into a gas. Tomorrow, we will get to see how the cling wrap becomes heavy with water and drips water into the cup. This will represent the gas turning back into a liquid in the form of precipitation (rain).
Be on the look out for letters to be sent home about items we are looking for in upcoming lessons.
Thank you for your support!
