How Your Body Keeps Cool:

Jordan read about sweat and cooling off our bodies in National Geographic Kids Ultimate Body-Pedia.

We also listened to some bird calls online. I later added some bay area backyard bird calls to our playlist.

We love to capture the birds that visit our backyard.

Heat and Absorption:

Jordan read about endothermic reactions and how they give off heat. He conducted a simple baking soda and vinegar experiment to test his theory.

Chapter Book GRAB BAG:

I created a Grab Bag for the The Saturdays FIAR Unit. The Grab Bag series is a collection of worksheets and/or activities that I created while studying the FIAR Chapter Book units with my children.

You can purchase your copy HERE at our TPT Store.

*NOTE: Please be aware that any printable from the Grab Bag series may have worksheets that are similar and/or the same as those available in our other printables. We try to include anything that could enhance your student(s) learning experience as you row the chapter book series.

Pinterest Board:

You can find most of the activities, ideas, and printables from this post on The Saturdays Pinterest Board.

Youtube Playlist:

As with our other rows, we created The Saturdays Playlist with read-alouds, music, science, and other clips.
