Fish in a Tree-Chapters 25-30

Created with Padlet

Part 1:  
On page 158, Mr. Daniels inspires Ally with a quote sometimes attributed to Albert Einstein.  We have responded to this quote already and what we think it means.  Having read further in the book and learning more about Ally, how does this quotation speak to Ally and her experiences?  How does this moment in the text serve as a turning point for Ally?  "Everyone is smart in different ways. But if you judge a fish on it's ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life thinking it's stupid."

Part 2:  NEXT: 
Go to Brainy Quotes’ Albert Einstein page.
Choose an Albert Einstein quote that you think represents you.

Choose an image, that represents your quote.  Remember to give credit to the photographer in your post.

POST:

Balloon Popping!

Atoms are the smallest building blocks of matter and molecules are two or more atoms connected together. 

Today in class we investigated a drop of water and examining it on a molecular level.

Watch the video of a water balloon popping in slow motion and write a comment answering the question:  

Why do you think the water keeps its shape the moment the balloon is popped?
