Today students explored coding! Our Ozobot is up and running, and in the next few weeks all students will be able to explore coding, making routes and patterns, using this robot.
We then performed a science experiment on pillars and posts. Students discovered last week that the cylinder was able to hold more weight then the rectangular prism or triangular prism. We then used our cylinders to test if 4 pillars would hold more weight, or 1 post. There was wonderful discussion on weight distribution, stability and buckling. We were all impressed with how much our cylinders held, up to 5 kilograms! Ask your student about the experiment, and if pillars or post is the strongest.
Today I sent home the permission form for our trip to Fish Creek Park on March 16. I am in need of parents to volunteer for skating on March 2 and Fish Creek. Please email me if you are available!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, stay safe in the snow!
