Here is the task sheet for the next two weeks. We thought you might like to see what learning they are focusing on in Matai and Totara.
Students will complete these tasks over two weeks. The task sheet is used to record their learning over time and also remind them of the fortnightly expectations when timetabling their week.
The links on this are all active if you would like to have a look.
Today we did an experiment looking at the effects of sugar and salt on ice. What would happen if you sprinkled this onto ice cubes? Which one would melt the fastest?
There were three different dishes per group - our control (we added nothing to the ice cubes), sugar sprinkled on ice cubes and salt sprinkled on ice cubes.
Groups predicted what they thought was going to happen and then the experiment began. Over time we observed the reaction of sugar and ice on the ice cubes. We used timers to track the reaction that occurred over time.
Why not try this at home with your family? Do you think their predictions will be similar to yours?
Ask them to explain WHY they think this will happen.... but remember don't give anything away till after the experiment!!!
In the beginning of this term, we started a mini inquiry on studying an artist. We can work at our pace. Here is the instructions and success criteria for this task.
Leave a comment or email Wanwan and Keith if you have questions! We look forward to hear about your learning ; )
