- We had a guest speaker in the afternoon, who was an engineer from the Alberta Science Network. He taught us a bit about material variety then he gave us a project where we had to make a structure that would hang 3 pencils and 3 marbles on a string. We also had to make the structure that would hold the string. We learned that it is better to build a building using rebar and cement because the metal rods can take tension (pull) while the cement can handle the push, so it makes the structure stronger.
- Today in math, we started our zoo re-design project. But before we can start, we had to complete a permit showing our knowledge of geometric shapes to prove to the mayor we are the architects/ engineers for the job.
- In gym, we started our parachute unit by playing cat and mouse, jaws, mushroom and running under the parachute.
- In word work, all the words have a silent letter in them. They are words we have been using in our snakes and ladders game.
- This is our last week for our Tunisian centers! We continued to work on them and one group is finished.
What questions do we have after today?
- Which group will win the snakes and ladders game?
- Will everyone finish their social centers in time?
- What will our new zoo designs look like?
- What is the average number of beans we have planted to grow a bean plant?
- Who will have the tallest bean plant by the end of the month? How tall will it be?
- Whose bean plant will grow the most leaves?
