Sinai Scientists in Ms. Francis and Ms. Emerson's classes completed an experiment on the density of different liquids. The students added oil, vinegar, corn syrup, and colored water to a clear container. After waiting a few minutes, students observed that the liquids were no longer in the same order that they were added. The liquids layered based on their density.
Sinai Scientists in Ms. Francis and Ms. Emerson's third grade classes completed an experiment to find static electricity. Students loaded the balloon with electrons by rubbing the balloon on their head or sweatshirt, then held it over a plate with salt and pepper. They observed the pepper flakes fly up to the balloon as the electrons attracted them.
Ever look up into the sky and wonder how clouds form? Ms. Goode and Mrs. Lipscomb's class talked about weather and changes in nature this week. The group conducted a science experiment making clouds in a jar.
Our kindergarten students explored moving matter by blowing through straws. This provided an ideal opportunity to introduce students to the concepts of liquid and forces that push. Students worked in groups and acted as scientists as they blew items through a straw to see how fast they would move.
Sinai Elementary ECSE students recently enjoyed decorating pumpkins! Sinai Elementary would like to thank Lowe's for their generous donation of pumpkins for our ECSE students!
Sinai's 5th grade scientists reviewed matter by investigating mixtures and solutions. They looked at cups of water with salt, food coloring, marbles, and sand added to determine which were mixtures and which were solutions. They had to support their answers using definitions for mixture and solutions.
Students in Mrs. Dailey's class were introduced to Bruno Buzzbee this week. He is a member of the Investigator Club, he delivers news and mail. Students created a special letter to be mailed to their home and they placed it in the mailbox here at the school.
Sinai Scientists in Mrs. Rutherford's class made MOON DOUGH. The students were learning about science experiments and about mixtures. We added 1 cup corn starch, 1/2 cup conditioner and food coloring to make MOON DOUGH. MOON DOUGH is like play dough and slime combined. The student's enjoyed playing with the moon dough.
Sinai Elementary recently recognized our SuperStar Sinai Custodians on National Custodian's Day. Sinai PTO presented each with a gift card and staff presented them with breakfast. Sinai would not be the school that we are without our custodial staff! Thank you Mr. Fallen, Mr. West and Ms. Davis.

Sinai Elementary third grade students recently began using a new computer program called Lexia® Core5® Reading. Lexia® Core5® Reading is a fun, computer-based program that helps students improve their literacy skills. The activities in Core5 support and build on the student's classroom curriculum, and focus on developing reading skills in key areas.
Sinai Scientists in 5th grade recently explored matter and motion using marbles. They saw how when marbles collided with each other the motion transferred. Students enjoyed seeing how far the marbles traveled.
