Awesome Job at Dragon Boating! Update for May 25th

Good afternoon everyone!

Great job today dragon boating! I hope everyone had fun and enjoyed our exercise in the beautiful outdoors of Burnaby Lake. Thank you to all of our parent drivers and participants. It was very fun listening to us chant, row, and work together to speed down the lake! If anyone took pictures, please feel free to share them with me in google drive, so I can include some on our blog.

When we returned, we had some time to work on independent projects. Some things to remember about your project:

  • You will need to turn in your project worksheet with the questions
  • You will need to document ALL resources used. We will format our bibliography at the end, but you know what you need to collect from resources. Please collect that information AS YOU GO.
  • You will need to show your notes, either in EverNote, Google Docs, or on paper.
  • Answer your questions on a separate sheet as you are researching.
  • You can change your questions as you go. Just make sure you have one in each category of question.
  • You need to have used an encyclopedia, a book, and internet sites (these are secondary resources.)
  • You need a primary resource (survey, interview, experiment, observations, etc.) that should be documented in notes or a lab report.
  • We will be doing a project to show what you have learned. Time to start thinking about what that might be!

We also continued our work on myths. These things should be done because time was given in class, but if not, please finish:

  • Venn Diagram comparing Pele vs Vulcan/Hephaestus
  • 2 paragraphs around why myths between cultures are very similar
  • Reading the cultural myth around the moon

We also did a science experiment! You were given the lava lamp bottle and an extra Alka Seltzer tablet to take home. Your assignment for Friday (and you will have time tomorrow to work on this):

  • Share the bottle with mom and dad. Explain and show how it works. If you don’t know why it works, then look it up!
  • And…..if someone didn’t know the science behind this experiment, then write a short myth that would explain it.

The final reflection and budget for MACC MALL are due on Friday. More time tomorrow in class if you need it.

Have a good night!
