We hosted a tea party for our science buddies on Friday. The third graders didn't know too much about the historic event that took place way back at the start of the Revolution. After filling them in on some history, we dressed them as Mohawk Indians. Make sure to ask your fifth grader why the Patriots (not Tom Brady) dressed in this peculiar disguise. Then we enjoyed a cup of tea together. A science buddies event would not be complete without learning something scientific! Students observed the three states of matter in their cup (solid - sugar cubes, liquid - tea of course, and gas - vapor). They also put their heads together to analyze density and buoyancy. We had a great time!
Here are some wonderfully creative social studies/writing projects my students did on key players of early colonization.
