What is a Magnet? A magnet is an object that produces an external magnetic field. A bar magnet has two ends:the north pole and the south pole.The magnetic forces are highest at the two ends.
This week we have been talking about what magnets are and which metallic materials are magnetic and which are not.In the link below you will practice more:
Here you have our last class about characteristics of materials.Review and practice with this slideshare.The video on page number 4 about shadows is below. Have fun! :D
It was
amazing for my grade 3 students to experiment how gelatine dissolves in water
at different temperatures. For this experiment they used these materials:
1.Three transparent plastic cups
2.Some gelatine
3.Water at three different temperatures ( cold, warm, and hot )
They
could observe that gelatine dissolved faster in hot water. They also enjoyed
looking and comparing this first cup with the other two cups. Nice work kids!
Last week of Term1, we talked about matter.You have to remember that matter is everthing that takes up space and has mass.The three important states of matter are: Solid liquid and gas.
In the animation below you will see how the particles of each state behave. I hope you like it.
After learning the life cycle of a flowering plant,the boys and girls from grade 4 learned a new song which title is "The needs of a plant".With this video my children learned that plants have basic needs: soil, water, sun, air and space.So, I invite you to see the video again to enjoy and sing it again.
Green day was an attractive day for my grade 4 students too.This Green day project was also divided in two main parts.Lions and Tigers were assigned to make a group work following this following sucess criteria:
Label the parts of a real flower and paste it in a cardboard.
Tear green paper in small pieces to paste them around the border of the cardboard.
Write three ideas why plants are important in our lives.
Paste these ideas in the cardboard to finish the poster.
On the other hand, Leopards also created some beautiful souvenirs to share with their friends from the other two rooms. I was very happy to see all grade 4 not only enjoying while making these projects,but also showing the responsibility we have to save the plants in our home "The Earth".
Take a look at the pictures of them while working. Grrrrrrrrrrrrreat work my kids! :D
In term 1, my grade 3 students made some beautiful projects to highlight the importance of "Green Day". They understood that it is our responsibility to take care of the plants, green areas and all the plants to save our home: the Earth. They recognised the important role that plants play in the planet: to keep all living things alive.
The big project was divided in two main parts: creating posters and making some souvenirs.That is why Seals and Penguins created beautiful posters which were shown in the bulletin board, and Polar Bears made some trees souvenirs, which were shared with their friends from the other two rooms. Nice works my children! :D
Let me show you the pictures of them while working just by clicking the slideshow below:
