Science Fun!

Week 9: June 1st-5th

Les 5 sens!!

At home challenge: Can you think of things you use your 5 "sens" for. You can draw a picture for each "sens" and try and label it with the word by sounding it out! :) :) :) 

Week 8: May 25-29

Planets

Draw a picture of the planets and send them to us!! (mara.roach@ocsb.ca)

Week 7: May 19-22

Science with Ms. Paula

Activity: Colour mixing demonstration (chemical reactions) 

Week 6: May 11-15

Nature Scavenger Hunt

Task for the week: Get outside and go for a walk with your family! What different animals did you see, did you see different types of trees? 

Week 4: April 27- May 8

Flotte ou coule? (Sink or Float?) 

This sink or float experiment is a simple physics experiment that will encourage your child to make predictions and observations about buoyancy and density. Through their observations, they’ll learn that buoyant objects float and dense objects sink, and if they want to be true little scientists, they can even record their predictions.

Experience
Materiaux (Materials) : 
- Objets de la maison qui peuvent être mouillés. (Objects from around the house that can get wet)
- Un récipient pouvant contenir de l'eau (évier, baignoire, aquarium, bol, récipient de tupperware etc ...)
(A container that can hold water (sink, bathtub, aquarium, bowl, tupperware container) 
- morceau de papier et crayons pour enregistrer les observations
Processus: 
1. Choisissez un objet à la fois et faites une prédiction sur votre feuille si vous pensez qu'il va couler ou flotter
(Choose an object and make a prediction on whether you think it will sink or float)
2. Mettez l'objet dans l'eau
(Put the object into the water) 
3. Dessinez votre observation sur votre feuille d'observation
(Draw your observations onto your recording sheet)

Qu'avez-vous appris sur les choses qui coulent ou flottent? Pensez à la taille, au poids, aux matériaux et à la structure de l'objet. 
(What did you learn about things that sink or float? Think about size, weight, materials and structure of the object. )
