Happy St. Patrick's Day!
On Monday, we set up our Leprechaun traps! Unfortunately we did not catch one...but he sure did make a mess of our classroom! He left us a note and sent us on a scavenger hunt around the school!
Checking out the classroom! We couldn't believe how tricky the leprechaun was!
Scavenger hunt!
We finally found the treasure!
Thank you to the SCC for making green pancakes for lunch!
In the afternoon we finished our matter unit. First, we baked cupcakes. We learned that when we are baking we use a mixture of solids and liquids. When everything is mixed together it turns into a liquid; then after it is baked it turns into a solid! We reviewed that temperature can affect some states of matter! After, we decorated our cupcakes green! We also made ice cream floats! A float has all 3 states of matter. The pop is the liquid, the ice cream is the solid and the carbon is the gas! We decided to make a "toast" to science...as it seems to be everyones favourite subject!
We also read "Bartholomew and the Oobleck." Can something be a liquid and a solid? We made oobleck to find out the answer to this question. The oobleck behaved like a solid and a liquid depending on how much pressure was applied. You can form a solid ball in your hand with it, but as soon as your release it it flows between your fingers and turns into a liquid!
I hope everyone had a wonderful St.Patrick's Day!
