Gr. 3 Science



Gr. 3 students, along with Mr. Crooks, explored the science unit on Force and Movement.  

This unit has students investigating the various forces (push, pull, friction, buoyancy etc.)  that cause an object to start moving.  

The students constructed balloon race cars made out of recyclable materials, powered by balloon force. They then had Speed races with each car.  





Students also planted bean seeds and then watched them germinate and grow.  

See the growth in this student's bean after 3 months!


Scientist in the School - Gr. 5

The Gr. 5's participated in Scientist in School yesterday and today.  Ms. Law's class had a lot of fun and learned a great deal of science in the various engaging activities.  Students discovered where energy comes from, its different forms and how it can be transferred or transformed.  

Students also identified energy stored in household objects and discovered that the human body is a good conductor of electricity.  Using the Energy Stick, they formed a human chain of electricity!  They held hands and used their bodies to complete the circuit that activated the Energy Stick (it lit up and buzzed).  




Gr. 5's also explored how energy may be conserved energy and the environment protected by simply using energy efficient light bulbs, adding insulation to buildings,and using green energy (solar, hydro, wind).
