Terrific Thursday!
We began the day having art with Mr. Monaghan and physical
education with Ms. Lovan.
When student’s returned, we were learning about temperature
in Math. We discussed the different seasons and the weather. We know the
hottest season is summer because of the clothing we wear and because of how we
feel. We figured out the coldest season is winter because of the clothing we
wear and how we feel. We also thought about skating and that we cannot go
skating in the summer because the ice will melt; the winter is cold and keeps water
frozen so we can go skating. Afterwards, we used a thermometer to see how we
can see the temperature changing. We noticed that when the thermometer is put
into cold water the red line in the thermometer goes down. We boiled water and
saw that when a thermometer is put inside, the red line almost reaches the top
of the thermometer.
Afterwards, students practiced their presentation for their
UOI projects and then performed them in front of the class. Here we are:
When we were finished, we starting working on a money
package. We were colouring and cutting out the different coins in order to make
a coin booklet to help us understand each one, how it looks, the name, and the
amount.
After first recess and lunch we had French.
When students returned, we wrote our homework in our agendas
and then had a discussion about pollution and the different kinds of pollution.
We then read a book titled Oil Spill by Melvin Berger. We learned how oil
spills can happen by accident when big oil ships are carrying oil over the
water. The book also taught us the different way that oil can be cleaned and we
noticed that many of the strategies were dangerous and still polluted the
water. After second recess and lunch, we performed a science experiment to see
if oil could be killed by filtration, like most other polluted water.
Our question was:
Our Hypothesis was:
Our materials were:
We came to the conclusion that garbage, sand, and dirt could
be cleaned using a filter but the food colouring (representing oil in water)
could not be cleaned.
I was not able to post all the videos because they were too long.
