What a great day it was today! We started out with the Terry Fox run, a tad wet but lots of spirit and smiles in honour of Terry Fox. I'll bet he never complained about the rain. We read a couple more chapters of One For The Murphys and are starting to record the characteristics/traits of our key characters. This will be part of your question to discuss with your global friends next week. (Please email me if you are still having problems commenting on the Kidblog or Edmodo sites.) Remember to continue to ask questions to find out where your Edmodo buddies are living. POST: Carley has a plush toy giraffe. The long neck for reaching tree tops and long flexible tongue for grabbing leaves off branches are excellent traits of the giraffe. Describe one characteristic or trait of yours. Homework: Start preparing your book talk. (There are 6 students presenting Thursday) The rest of you will present in the next three weeks. *Remember you can use a variety of methods to present. Criteria:
We also had our first meeting with our grade 2 and 3 buddies. I was very impressed with the positive examples you modelled. I observed helping, kindness and encouragement. It was amazing how similar the pictures looked. Science- we reviewed states of matter and properties. Our last property is density. Start reviewing concepts as you will have a unit test in a couple of weeks.
POST: 3 different examples of density...(in class we showed how wood and a rubber ball float on top of water) The rubber ball was floating lower than the wood so the water is the most dense, then the rubber ball and the wood is the least dense. *Be creative in your experimenting. We suggested trying different solutions eg. salt and water Is hot water denser than cold? (you would need to use food colouring to see which one is on top) Another thing we did today was review the colour wheel. We learned how to mix primary colours to make all secondary and tertiary colours. We will finish these next week. Grade 6 math mid-chapter review is due Monday. Picture day is Monday (see yesterdays' page for the important dates coming up.) Hot lunch is also Monday.

Mercury is so dense that an iron bolt will float on it, if you have a bottle of syrup and you put whipped cream on the syrup the whipped cream will float on top of the whipped cream because the syrup is more dense air is almost not dense at all it.

I tried 3 objects; oats, honey and dish soap. The oats were floating for a second then they started to sink, the honey right away went to the bottom of them glass and the soap did the same thing as the oats it floated for a second then began to sink.

I tried cold and hot water for a wine cork and the wine cork floated with the cold water. The wine cork sank in the warm water. I also tried canola oil and an M&M but the M&M just sank to the bottom. I tried a chocolate chip and it just floated. One trait to describe me is probably caring and adventurous.

I tired black peas and sunflower oil in hot&cold water: for both, the pea sunk, and the oil rose up. I found out cool facts about density on the internet.

One trait to describe myself is that i am forgetful, that's why i forgot to post this too. I tried my experiment with hot and cold water, but i did not see a difference.

I tried a piece of tinfoil, paper clip, and a cucumber. I cut the piece of tinfoil into a circle shape. The piece of tinfoil floated for a little bit but then started to sink when it took on a little bit of water. I tried the tinfoil in the shape of a boat by folding up the edges and it floated even when I pushed on the middle to try and make it sink. The paperclip sunk like a rock. The cucumber easily floated.

I did canola oil, dry dog food, and a piece of small glass. The glass sunk right away so the glass is more dense than the oil. The dog food floated so the oil is more dense than the dog food.
