Weight of the World on your Shoulders

Agenda:
1 - Math tests corrected and signed due Friday (Mrs. Saunders' group)
2 - Gift card fundraiser
3 - Page 9 in the place value booklet is due tomorrow. Mrs. Saunders will collect your booklet.
4 - Try the Barometric Experiment at home - Air pressure
You must do this over a sink!

Highlights
What did you learn today?
We learned that air has pressure. 
How did you show what you learned?
We did an experiment to prove it. We filled a test tube with water, filled right to the rim (so that there were no air bubbles), placed a piece of card stock paper over the top and then tipped it upside down. It didn't spill!
What do you need to learn next?
We are going to make our own barometer in class tomorrow.
