This week the fifth grade went on a field trip to the Franklin Institute. First, we went to a planetarium show called “Wildest Weather”. It was about weather on the different planets in our solar system.
On planet Mars, there are sand storms so powerful they are called “Dust Devils”. Mars’ wind goes so fast that it lifts sand storms off the ground and it makes a vortex of sand over the ground and creates what is known as a “Dust Devil”.
On planet Neptune, the winds are ten times stronger than the strongest hurricane on planet Earth. Neptune is also the second farthest planet from the sun. storms on Neptune is quite different from the storms on Earth. Instead of rain diamonds fall from the sky!
On our field trip the grade five has learned so,so many things like: what weather on different planets are, the world population and how every second it changes, how Tesla’s coils work, we also had fun shocking each other and much more. We are all looking forward to our next unit of Inquiry, and our next field trip.

Grade 5 Bristlebots
Grade five also made Bristlebots this week. Bristlebots are little motors with toothbrush heads as feet, googly eyes, and other decorations. They’re like little bugs, but cuter. Mr.Kovacs paired us up and gave us instructions. Each pair had to follow the instructions and create the Bristlebot. It was a little tricky in the designing process. We had to make sure it was unbalanced so it would move, and we had to make sure the toothbrush heads didn’t block out the motor. We managed. The hard part was the soldering, but Mr.Kovacs did that for us. We all had a lot of fun making the Bristlebots!
