Today in Science we explored the differences between rocks and minerals. We discovered that minerals are actually the building blocks of rocks! We examined a piece of granite (a type of rock) and found out that it is made up of several different minerals. The different colours in the rock show the different minerals. We also learned some common uses for minerals in our everyday life. Did you know the fluoride in our toothpaste comes from the mineral fluorite!?
In Social studies today we examined our last country, Tunisia. Our challenge in our visual journals was to create a Venn Diagram comparing some similarities and some differences between Canada and Tunisia. After looking at our diagrams, we found that there are many similarities to Canada!
Tomorrow we are looking forward to moving on to the next step in our art project! More details to come tomorrow.
Just a reminder that scholastic book orders are due this Wednesday Nov. 26. Payment must be in cheque!
Have a lovely evening!
