Simon Fraser Visitors
Today, we had a wonderful visit from Simon Fraser students.
We showed them our math games and they read us story.
It was a wonderful afternoon for both us and the Simon Fraser students.
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...
