Hi Fifth Graders
I am off to another conference to learn more about teaching math and science, and to present some of the awesome work you fifth graders are doing at Briggs! It is a really big conference- The American Geophysical Union.
Their "mission statement" (we talked about those) is:
The purpose of the American Geophysical Union is to promote discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity.
Please check out their website- http://www.agu.org/about/our_science/
There will be NASA scientists, geologists, hydrologists (water), and climate scientists, just to name a few. I will be really learning a lot!
I will be in San Francisco all week!
Here is a map showing San Francisco. You can answer these questions on the blog.
1. What state is San Francisco in?
2. Which ocean is its coastline on?
3. Look at the map and the map scale. About how far is away is San Francisco from Ashburnham?
One more question- What famous bridge is in San Francisco?
I know you will have a great week. Keep in touch!!
Ms. Bennett
