Science
This week in science we conducted various experiments that explored force. We launched balloon rockets across the classroom and also across the length of our front foyer. Students tested out their hypothesis with various shapes and sizes of balloons. We timed how long it took for the balloon to deflate, measured the distance travelled, and compared the results with the different sized balloons.
Math
In math we have started our unit on patterning. Students have been identifying and describing attributes, finding the core, and extending patterns. Below are some examples of patterns created by students with at least 2 changing attributes.
shape and colour
shape, colour, height, thickness, size
Social Studies
Students have been working on constructing their understanding about living and working in Ontario. We learned about the 3 different landform regions in Ontario and how these differences and the environment impact the way people live their lives. Students also recognize how we have benefitted from the knowledge shared by the First Peoples of this land such as agriculture, using the natural resources in the environment to survive, recreational activities, and modes of transportation. We have been co-creating our learning scroll as we develop our understanding through the unit.
