Learning Outcomes

Science 

Describe the properties and interactions of various household liquids and solids, and interpret their interactions.

Design and carry out an investigation, using procedures that provide a fair test of the question being investigated

 What Did Students Do?

This week, students participated in a science experiment. The question that they were trying to answer was "what liquid will turn a Lifesaver candy into a solution the quickest?"

Students used three household liquids; vinegar, water, and vegetable water to determine the answer to the problem. Each student predicted what they thought would happen and wrote a hypothesis. Throughout the experiment, students took observations based on their senses, specifically, what they saw, heard, and smelt as well as creating a diagram with detailed labels. 






Ask Your Child:

- What was your hypothesis? 

- What was the results of the experiment? 

- Was your hypothesis correct? 

- Why do you think that liquid turned the lifesaver into a solution the quickest?

- Why do you think the oil did not have an impact on the lifesaver?

The grade five students are organizing and putting on the Terry Fox Run. To do this, they have done a great deal of research about Terry Fox and the "why" behind the run. Students have read books, listened to stories, and watched videos to learn about Terry Fox. With that information, they have taken notes, shared school wide announcements, and created posters. We discussed different ways to share information and students identified talking, signing, writing, pictures, and more as ways to do this. They determined that when sharing information, it needs to be clear and interesting. They then created a target to ensure their posters w...
