We filled up our boxes with items that remind us of...Chanuka!!

Our ''kufsat hazikaron'' memory box

In this box we put our memories... Because we learnt that before we learn new things we have to remember what we already know... And we know how to say all this in hebrew...

Happy birthday Dylan

We're davening so nicely in the morning

How can we use tools to investigate physical properties?

Explore Activity: Investigate Physical Properties

During this experiment called, Investigate Physical Properties, students answered the question, How can you use tools to investigate physical properties?  The students made and compared observations using tools like a microscope, and a hand lens. They observed materials like: burlap, silk, felt, paper towel and sandpaper. Predictions were made on whether or not observations would change if the shape of the material changed when they cut it.

WHAT EXACTLY IS A SOLID, LIQUID AND A GAS?

Classifying Solids, Liquids, and Gases

We have been exploring how we can classify solids, liquids and gases. The students were able to explore the classroom is search of solids, liquids and gases. Then we came back together as a class and discussed why they picked an object and how they classified an object as a solid, liquid or gas.  Many of the students had a hard time choosing classifying something in the classroom that is a gas.  In the end they labeled the following as a gas: air purifier (the air that is given off), the air conditioner (air that is given off), and the air within the classroom. Some of the solids that the students chose around the room are: desks, floor, wall, books, bookshelves, white board and chairs.  Some of liquids they chose are: water from the water bottles, and water from the jug.
