With these funds I will purchase materials for my fifth graders to work through the scientific method, collaboratively engage in interactive experiments, reflect, and make adjustments in order to understand the concepts behind the science experiments.  My students would like the opportunity to take their understanding of science concepts to a higher level!  They would like to communicate and showcase various aspects of their science units of study by planning and performing a Science Fair for their Title 1 preschool learning partners.  My fifth grade students will include their preschool learning partner as an assistant in their demonstration.  Then all students will rotate through each experiment station.  The requested Windbag, Cloud in A Bottle, Soda Bottle Tornado, and Insta Snow kits will all compliment our Weather Unit of Study.  The following are just a few of the principles that will be investigated, discussed, demonstrated, and interactively completed by all students:  properties of air, how air pressure creates wether systems, needed factors for cloud formation, and conditions needed to create a tornado vortex.
