Question of the night: If you're having a bath tonight, fill the tub and, from outside of it, put your arm in the water (just like we put a pencil in a cup today). What do you observe?
A day full of science discoveries. We began by making some conclusions about reflection and how the surfaces affect the quality of the reflection. We found out that opaque, flat, shiny materials reflect light the best. Think of a mirror... We looked at how a crumpled piece of tinfoil reflects light in all different directions, which makes it really tough to see the reflection. After discussing those results, we studied if light can "bend". We used a pencil and a glass of water, and noticed that the pencil looks "out of place" when you put it in the water. Try it with your arm in the bathtub...we briefly talked about how that is called "refraction". We're going to look back at reflection tomorrow...stay tuned for a design thinking challenge. We finished Wonder this morning. What an amazing ending, filled with many heart-warming kindness. I wonder if we'll continue on with this book somehow this school year. In the afternoon, we learned uppercase "T", then travel planned. Most groups are getting close to finishing this project, and are currently adding up their costs. Please continue to practise the songs on D2L, especially "Can you Feel the Love tonight?" Bye for now! ____________________________________________________ Over the next few months, students will have some ongoing home reading homework. All of the homework is tracked within D2L under "Discussions". Essentially, students are tasked with engaging in dialogue with their fellow classmates about books they may be reading. There will be weekly questions to guide their discussions. The expectation is that students post at least 2 times per week. Please contact me with any questions. Bye for now! ____________________________________________________ Walking Wednesday Any students who walk, ride, bike to school on Wednesday will be entered for a prize. ____________________________________________________ Power Hour January 2017 Camel Group -- https://studio.code.org/sections/DYTPMD Lion Group -- https://studio.code.org/sections/DSBGDD ____________________________________________________ Reminders:
