Question of the night: No question...enjoy your break!
This morning, we watched an episode of brain games. This one was all about light and colour, and how your brain sometimes tricks you. We also learned about the different wavelengths of light: did you know that you can't see UV light? We finished the last of our ancestry presentations. Today, we learned that one of our classmates has ancestors from Iceland, another from Ukraine, and another from Germany. One common theme this morning was that many of our ancestors came to Canada for a "better life". We'll talk more about this topic when we come back from Spring Break. In the morning, we also watched Wallace and Gromit, which helped us to see some of the simple machines in actions. They were more like complex machines though, because they usually had more than one simple machine in them. In the afternoon, we built. Some students worked on building different types of bridges (eg. truss and cantilever), while others worked on devices using simple machines, eg. egg beater, stationary bike, sailboat with pulley, and others. We'll continue to work on these when we get back from our break. On that note, enjoy your time off. Be safe. See you in April! ____________________________________________________ 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:
