Beakerhead

Today, we had an incredible presentation by Paul Isaak, also known as the Funny Juggler.  His amazing presentation taught kids about the science and math behind the everyday things they do such as kicking a soccer ball, throwing a ball, dancing or juggling.  Paul is apart of Beakerhead which is a travelling performance using Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math to amaze people around the country.  There are event happening in Calgary this weekend and children under 14 are free.  Many students expressed an interest so I am including the link to the information if your family would like to check it out!

Oobleck and Slime - Liquid or Solid???

Today was such exciting afternoon! After a previous discussion on the characteristics of  solids, liquids and gases, some students were wanting to know if slime would be a solid  or a liquid. We decided we wanted to explore this further. One student was so helpful in bringing in 3 containers of slime for us to explore! Thank you to this student! Ms. McCullough decided to add in Oobleck to the experiment as well. We described both the solid and liquid characteristics of slime and oobleck then wrote a conclusion on whether it should be classified as a solid, liquid or both and explain why. Through some research online, Ms. McCullough found out this information online: What Is Oobleck? Oobleck isn’t a liquid or a solid, it’s a "non-Newtonian fluid". At times, it may seem like a solid or a liquid but it acts differently than a normal solid or liquid. Making oobleck is a great science experiment to show how changes in  pressure  can change the...

Students are coming home with a labelling of caterpillars and butterfly body parts.  Students should be able to explain how the body parts help in their lives. They are also bringing hone some sheets we did while experimenting  In our “Exploring Liquids” student.
