Are You Smarter Than A Santaquin Fifth Grader?

For their End of Year Science Review, the 5th Grade Teachers at Santaquin Elementary came up with a totally fun idea to engage their students ... Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader / Minute to Win It! Guest contestants from the Administrative Team struggled to keep up with these fifth graders as they demonstrated their knowledge about the Earth's surface, Matter, Electricity, and Magnets.  The students practiced the movement of rocks, which is called erosion, in a relay race moving rocks from one bucket to the other.  They had one minute to mix pancake batter, demonstrating the chemical change that took place when the ingredients were combined together.  For electricity, they had to blow up a balloon and rub the balloon against their head to make static electricity, then they had to run down and make a complete circuit.   To demonstrate their understanding of magnets, the students needed to pull apart magnets with an extremely strong magnetic force.  What a fun way to review science!  I think everyone learned something today ... thanks fifth grade!!
