How the Grand Canyon was Formed! Really?!

The TISA 5th graders have begun learning about landforms. This week our scientists investigated water flow over earth materials in a stream table. They observed the processes of erosion, deposition, and stream flow. These processes relate to the processes that created the Grand Canyon!Our 5th grade scientists use scientific thinking processes to conduct investigations and build explanations using: observing, communicating, comparing, organizing, and relating! Wow! that's alot of learning!

TISA 5TH shines in the light!

TWIRL brings light experiences to the TISA 5th grade!

5th graders experienced the properties of light using white surfaces and tri-colored flashlights. They were able to mix colors of light and experience the spectrum of light usually produced by the splitting of white light. They also used different materials to experience how certain colors of light are absorbed by a material and others are allowed to pass through. They learned that the color of an object depends on the color of light hitting it. Thank you Agnes Chavez for bringing these amazing activities to TISA!

Camping Extravaganza at the Sangre De Cristo Youth Camp

The 5th grade class was fortunate enough recently to camp on Lama Mountain at the Sangre de Cristo Youth Ranch. We cooked in the outdoor kitchen, slept in wood cabins, visited goats and horses, hiked the mountain and roasted marshmallows around the campfire!
