Bar None: Perimeter, Area and Volume

                              Third Grade began a unit on perimeter, area and volume on Monday.
                                        They used cubic units to understand all three measurements.

Finger Prints and Skin

Third grade has been working on Finger Prints & Skin for Science.

The students learned about different patterns of prints and how to identify them.

They were involved in a mystery of stolen goods from a safe and discovered the 

suspect due to prints left behind.  Another activity was checking out different substances that either absorb into the skin, evaporate and stay on the surface.
