Write an information paragraph about How your life has changed since school has been closed? Remember, to use capital letters, end punctuation. Make sure you have at least 5 complete sentences in the paragraph and support your answer with real evidence from your day to day life.

Social Studies

Read pages 140-141. Fill in Ask Questions, Research on page 141 and Quest Findings 4. (Tell about a local job using the quest findings page at the end of the chapter).

You can create a power point of just write a report to tell about a job.

Math – Look at the picture below carefully. Answer the questions under the picture on a sheet of paper. Take a picture of your answers to text or create a word document to email.

1. In the picture, what did you notice? 2. What do you wonder about? 3. What shapes make up the picture?

Create a mosaic of your own using a variety of shapes. Here are the steps:

(Can also view these steps with examples at https://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Paper-Mosaic)1 Get some sheets of paper in different colors. Construction paper is the most popular, but you can also use scrapbook paper, paint chips, magazine pages, or even cereal boxes! What colors you need depends on your design. You don't have to use all of the colors of the rainbow. You could just use different shades of the same color, such as: light blue, medium blue, and dark blue.

2Cut the paper into small pieces to make your tiles. The pieces should be small, about the size of your thumbnail. You can make squares, rectangles, triangles, or even thin strips. The pieces don't have to be the same size. In fact, try to cut some smaller ones too. This way, you can fit them into tight corners.

Sort your shapes by color and put them into small piles or cups. This will make it easier to find the color you need.

3Start gluing the pieces of paper to the outline of a shape. Lightly draw a simple shape on a sheet of paper, which will be the outline for your mosaic. When you start gluing the pieces on it, leave a small gap between each one.

You can apply the glue directly to the sheet of paper, or you can apply it to the back of your tile instead.

If you are using irregular shapes, including triangles, make sure that the straightest edge is on the outside of the outline—otherwise, your shape will look jagged.

If you are using white school glue, apply it with a paintbrush. This will keep things less messy.

If you are applying the glue directly to the paper, work only in small sections at a time, or the glue will dry too fast.[1]

4Glue the rest of your tiles to the inside of your shape. If your shape has designs on the inside, like spots on a butterfly wing, outline those designs first with more tiles before filling them in.

Don't be afraid to cut some pieces down to help them fit! For a more professional touch, continue aligning the pieces along the

outline, going smaller and smaller with each row until you reach the center.

5Consider filling in the background, if desired, using a contrasting color.[2] This will make your work stand out. If you used different colors for your shape (this includes different shades of the same color), consider using just one color for the background. This will make your shape the focus.

You can also leave the background blank.

**At the bottom of your mosaic (or on a separate sheet or index card- if you don’t want to write it on the mosaic), tell what shapes you used. Take a picture of your mosaic and send it in.

On a sheet of paper, answer the following questions to wrap up this unit of Geometry.

1.Rico is classifying shapes using these names.

• Rectangle• Triangle• Rhombus• Quadrilateral

Which name can he use to label a square?

A. all except triangleB. all except rectangleC. all except triangle and rhombusD. all except rectangle and rhombus

2.Look at the shapes below.

Which shapes have four equal-length sides?

A. 1 and 2B. 2 and 3C. 3 and 4D. 2 and 4

3.Which shape has only one pair of equal-length sides?

A.

B.

C.

D.

4. Ms. Syral is painting the four rectangles shown below on her daughter’s bedroom wall.

Which two rectangles have the same perimeters but different areas?

A. rectangles S and RB. rectangles R and QC. rectangles P and S

D. rectangles P and R5.Malachi has measured the rectangles below in centimeters (cm).

What do Malachi’s measurements prove about rectangles?

A. Rectangles with the same perimeter can have different areas.B. Rectangles with the same area can have different perimeters.C. Rectangles with the same perimeter always have the same area.D. Rectangles with the same area always have different perimeters.

6.These two rectangles have the same area.

What is the difference in their perimeters?

A. 0 metersB. 4 metersC. 6 metersD. 8 meters

Science - (will take approximately 3 weeks to complete)

Use a seed from a piece of fruit or you can use a dried lima bean or pea.

Collect some soil from your backyard in a small container, remember the darker the dirt the more nutrients it has for growing things.

Press your seed down into the dirt (just to the first line on your pointer finger).

Cover the seed with the soil. If your container is clear- you can press the seed down by the side where you can still see it through the container.

Sprinkle a little water on the soil- don’t over water. You will need to water it again in 2-3 days.

Place your container out in the sun.

Make a journal – you can have several entries on one page. (see example below)

Go out and check on your plant every 2-3 days. Write down what you see. If you don’t see anything, you can write that down, too. When you see something start to happen, draw a small picture of it with your journal entry.

Keep track of your plant’s growth for 3 weeks.

Example of Plant Journal that has many entries on one page:

Day 1 – April 15, 2020

I planted a watermelon seed today. I used a clear cup so I can still see my seed through the cup. I found some really dark soil, so I hope it will grow fast. (Include picture)

Day 2 – April 16, 2020

The container looks the same.

Day 5 – April 19, 2020

I see some roots coming off of my seed on the side of the container. (include picture)
