Grade 4: Shadows Review

All grade 4 students reviewed and learned more about shadows. They recalled that a shadow is an area where direct light from a light source cannot reach due to obstruction by an object.It occupies all of the space behind an opaque object with light in front of it.

What does the position of the sun affect?
The position of the sun affects the postion and size of the shadow.

What happened when the sun is in front of you?
The shadow forms behind you.

They were shown an animation to practice forming shadows. They had a good time playing with this game:

Grade 4: Shadow Puppets Plays

Hello Dear Grade 4:

I want to express my satisfaction for all the great work you did when presenting your shadow puppets plays. During those classes you used a lot of your imagination and creativity and you created your shadow puppets. You understood that the best materials for making better shadows are opaque ones.
I have prepared a slide of photos taken while you were presenting your plays.
Great Job!!!!!!!

Grade 4: Oral presentations about Physical and Chemical Changes of Matter

Last week, all grade 4 students got ready to give their oral presentations about Physical and chemical changes. But, what is the difference between physical and chemical changes?Let me give you some reasons:
 
PHYSICAL CHANGES:
1.They do not produce a new kind of matter because it is still the same matter.
2.Physical changes are about heat and states of matter. For example, when you melt an ice cube and it turns to liquid, it causes a change in the state of matter.
 
CHEMICAL CHANGES:
1. They produce a new substance.
2. Chemical changes happen on a much smaller scale.
Enjoy this slide of pictures when they were working in class.Grrrrrrrreat job my dear Lions,Tigers, and Leopards !
