Nature Walk!

Wednesday, April 6th

Hi Division 8!

I love how many of you shared so many of your tips yesterday! I know we can learn so much from each other! Check out the stress balls that John made for himself yesterday:

Question Mark, Note, Duplicate, RequestFor today I’d like you to go on a Nature Walk as a ‘Scientist.’ Now a scientist is Hiking, Nature, Walking Trails, Jeanssomeone who is curious and asks lots of questions about the world around them. They search for questions and then think about all the possible answers to their questions.Β  Take a pencil and paper with you and sketchBee, Cartoon, Bumble, Honey, Icon, Buzz the things that interest you!

As you walk around your neighbourhood or forest, I want you to think of 3 Wonder Questions about the nature around you. Please write your questions in the comments section below!

For example, on my walk yesterday I asked:

  1. Why do butterflies have so many different colours on their wings?
  2. Why do clouds look like different things?
  3. Why are there so many ants under a log?

I would like you to pick one question and research it on the computer – Can you find the answer to one of your Doodle, Arrow, Show, Rise, Arrow, Arrowquestions? If you can please add that in the comments below too!

Enjoy your walk and happy wonderings! In case you would like to explore some more wonders, I’ve left the link to Wonderopolis under the links column!

Love,

Ms. Binng

  1. Why Is the Sky Blue?
    The Earth’s atmosphere is filled with gas molecules. As white light from the Sun passes through the atmosphere, colors with longer wavelengths, such as red, orange and yellow, pass through. Blue and violet wavelengths, on the other hand, are absorbed by the gas molecules and scattered across the sky. Our eye sees these reflected wavelengths as blue.

  2. Why do bees pollinate flowers?
    Flowers provide bees with nectar and pollen, which worker bees collect to feed their entire colonies. Bees provide flowers with the means to reproduce, by spreading pollen from flower to flower in a process called pollination. Without pollination, plants cannot create seeds.

  3. Where does wind come from

    Why is shadow short sometimes?
    When the sun appears low in the sky, your shadow can be huge. Shadow is shortest at noon. at noon, the sun is directly overhead.

    How is sand made?
    Sand forms when rocks break down from weathering and eroding over thousands and even millions of years.

  5. My question is, why are clouds white?
    Because sunlight scatters millions of large water droplets. Light from the sun is white.

  6. Why is the sky orange at sunset?
    Because the sun is low on the horizon, sunlight passes through more air at sunset and sunrise than during the day, when the sun is higher in the sky. More atmosphere means more molecules to scatter the violet and blue light away from your eyes. … This is why sunsets are often yellow, orange, and red.

  7. Where do birds live?
    Birds live on big trees, mountains and forest mostly near to the water
