On Monday students from Division 3 participated as a class in an interactive virtual workshop with Relay Education facilitators using Google Meet.  Students:

• learned about renewable and non-renewable energy
• discussed the pros and cons of various types of renewable and non-renewable forms of energy
• participated in demonstrations with model wind turbines
• completed science equipments to determine how the length and number of blades on a wind turbine change how much energy is produced

Video: Navigating Mazes With Sphero

During Tech Day on Thursday, our class constructed mazes out of cardboard in small groups.  We then had to code Spheros to navigate through the mazes without touching the walls or running into any obstacles. Some of the challenges we faced were constructing the obstacles within the maze and then coding the Spheros to be able to navigate through the maze.  We had to learn how to adjust the speed, distance and angles to get the Spheros to navigate successfully through our maze and over ramps and bridges. We also had to learn to work together and divide tasks equally so that everyone was able to participate and take turns coding.

Have you ever wondered why we have fingerprints? or why we have different blood types? or questioned what kinds of bacteria may be lurking on your tongue? or how the human brain asks itself a question? or how our eyes perceive colour? or why we get goosebumps when we are cold or scared? or why we sometimes get a headache when we quickly eat or drink something cold? or why human skin and eyes come in different colours? or why our stomachs growl when we are hungry?

Students of Division 4 are actively investigating questions about the human body and its many systems and will be sharing some of their finding with you in the coming weeks.
