All Div. 11 Scientists have now been completed, everyone did such a great job! Our last two weeks included some very interesting experiments Lilah tested iodine in salt, Sukhtej's paper towel stayed dry when submerged in water, Rhett made water rise in a jar with a candle, Layla did fireworks in water, Eva's was similar but also demonstrated what food colouring will do if just in oil, and Ethan picked up styrofoam balls wrapped in tin foil with static electrictiy.
These are the posters that Div. 11 & 12 created to Protect Our Oceans. This was the final activity to conclude our special environment project with Mrs. Holmes focusing on the negative effects plastic has on our oceans.
A huge thank you to Rhett and Kaylee's mom for helping the students make cookies. They enjoyed doing this, an excellent learning opportunity. Kaylee and her mom then made more cookies at home so we'd have more, some for Father's Day and for us to eat. These 'Dad's Cookies' are for Father's Day but can be eaten earlier so they are fresher! I will include the Dad's Cookie recipe in our class cookbook!
Another big thank you is to Cooper's mom who organized our cookbook and then to Lila's mom for doing lots of photocopying on Thursday. We still need to bind the books so if anyone is available to do this next week please let me know. With so much already done it shouldn't take too long to put the books together and then to bind. This probably is best done at school as you need the binding machine.
Reminders for next week: (Hopefully I haven't forgotten anything!)
