December 9th - 13th
This week, in Science, we have been exploring more about waste in our world by looking at recycling. We explored recycling by using our scrap paper to make new paper. We started by collecting up waster paper and then we turned it into pulp by shredding the paper and then putting it into a bucket of water.
For Math this week we started off by doing a survey about which pictures we wanted to draw during our Friday Art. We needed to conduct a fair survey and complete a clear accurate tally chart. Then we used our data to complete a bar graph.
We also looked at arrays and how they are used to better understand multiplication. Here is a Khan Academy video that explains arrays more array Khan Academy video. Another skill we worked on was estimating the length of things. We learned about the difference of making an estimation and then making an actual measurement with a ruler. Finally we explored what the word mass means and that we would use grams or kilograms to measure mass and that we would use mm, cm or m to measure length.
We continued to use the Glenbow artifact kit to explore artifacts of settlers to Alberta. We also looked at biographies and photographs of early settlers.
On Friday we used our Math Survey an did a drawing using the Grinch and Max. We followed along using the drawing steps. Then we used our creativity to create an interesting background and colour choice. Finally we responded to the art work of other people in the class.

Over 24 hours we let the paper scraps soak in the water and stirred the pulp to break the paper into even finer pieces. The next day we took the pulp and laid it onto a screen on a lattice so that we could spread it smooth and press out some of the extra water. Finally we laid it onto a flat surface and let it dry over the weekend.
