A little EGGsperiment!!!

Today in science we did an experiment with eggs! The first thing we did was we each got one egg. Then we coloured them to look like the earth. Then we took push pins and put one hole in the bottom and one hole in the top. The holes should just be small. Then we blew through the top hole and all the yoke came out the bottom. We carried these eggs around all day in an effort not to break them. The point if this project was to show how fragile our earth is. We need to take care of our earth because if one thing gets messed up the whole thing will crumble like an empty egg shell.

Possessive nouns

Today we learned about possessive nouns. The possessive form of a noun is used to show ownership.
Ex: Joe's car is new.

The possessive of singular nouns is formed by adding an apostrophy plus an s.
Ex: Monica's house.
      Flower's pedals.

The possessive of most plural nouns is formed by adding an apostrophy.
Ex: girls' boys' animals'
Even if the singular noun ends in an s, you must still put an apostrophy and an s.

Herbivores, Carnivores, and Omnivores

Recently in science we learned about omnivores, carnivores and herbivores. Definitions of these words are:
Herbivores-  an animal that eats only plant material; examples are grasshoppers, beavers, and moose
Omnivores- an animal that eats other plants and animal material; examples are bears, raccoons, and humans
Carnivores- an animal that eats other animals; examples are lynx, wolves, and hawks

Spelling

Today in spelling I learned that bestow means to give, present or in other words to give as a gift.
I also learned that acquired means obtained, or gathered.
I also learned about other words like trifle, linger, and confined.
Trifle means small amount or a bit.
Liner means to stay or leave very slowly.
Confined means to be imprisoned or restricted.

Science

Science is a great subject in school it has experiments and Big Bang theary so always go to science
