Marvelous Monday!
We began the day working on our spelling
words for the week.
Then we had French and Gym.
After first recess and lunch we had Music.
When we returned we, learned about interpreting
data on a bar graph and a circle graph. We looked at a bar graph and circle
graph showing the same information about what we like to do after school. We
discussed: What data do the graphs show?
- How would you describe a circle graph?
(It is a circle divided into parts. It is like a pie that has been cut into
pieces.)
- How can you tell what the favourite thing
to do is by looking at the bar graph? (It has the longest bar.)
-How can you tell what the favourite thing
to do is by looking at the circle graph? (Look at the part covered most on the
circle). Students were also asked: what
does the bar graph show and the circle graph?
(Bar graph tells the number of children
that chose each activity, you can order from most to least popular, can find
out how many children were asked, Circle graph only tells how popular an
activity is, and order the activities). We concluded that the graphs show the
same data in two different ways. We can use the bar graph to know the exact
number of children who like a specific activity and we can use the circle graph
to discuss the results in fractions (1 whole, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 ). We realized it
is not good to use a circle graph when you want to know specific numbers. We
then worked on some activities interpreting circle and bar graphs.
After second recess and lunch we talked
about the importance of practicing a lock down at school. We then practiced one
as a class. We will practice a full school lock down tomorrow.
Next we began our Science Fair project!! We
will be exploring water, fresh and salt water and the difference between the
two. We watched a magic school video about water and also a YouTube video about
fresh water and salt water. Now that we have our background research, we will
make our hypothesis question based on our question: will the objects we place
in salt/baking soda/sugar/plain water sink or float?
