Hello, Grade 1 Families,
Learning Intention: I can identify measurable properties of objects. I can directly compare the length, area and weight of different objects. I can demonstrate safety and respect during investigations.
We have been busy in science! In class, students have been learning about objects and how to measure and compare objects. We are looking to see if students can measure using non-standard measurements (ex: blocks) to find the length, area and weight of an object. We are also looking to see if students can order the objects from least to greatest. Students had a lot of fun experimenting with scales to find weight.
On our field trip to TELUS Spark Science Centre, we had the opportunity to perform different experiments. We look at how to use equipment safely to protect ourself and others. I wonder what your child can tell you about the experiments we completed and why those reactions happened. We worked with materials such as Epsom salts, digital scales, thermometers and beakers. See if your child can show you how to do a perfect pour from one container to another without spilling!
As a reminder, please ensure your child has enough to eat during the day. We work hard and their brains and bodies get hungry. Thank you so much!
