CANADA DAY ADVENTURES!

Posted on July 3, 2014 by Ms. Watt | 11 comments

I hope everyone had lots of fun celebrating Canada Day!! I always wish we were still in school for the holiday so we could celebrate together & continue to learn lots of cool things about our fabulous country of Canada! Make sure to answer the poll & share what you did with your family &/or friends!
I went to a bbq & got to visit with one of my very best friends from Simon Fraser University, Allyson. She moved to Baltimore, Maryland with her husband 6 years ago & this was her first time back in 4 years! I missed her! We ate lots of good food & I got to play with her two kids, Connor & Grace. We’ll be travelling down to Seattle for the 4th of July before they get back on a plane to fly home on Saturday. I’ll share pictures of all the cool stuff we’re sure to see as Seattle celebrates their country’s big day!

Many thanks to everyone who supported your Nelson teachers over the last couple weeks! Thanks to everyone who drove by with waves & honks, dropped off treats, & a special thanks to those who came by & brightened my day with a special treat or gift.

J is for JUMPY SCIENCE

J ~ JUMPY Poppin Rockets! Science with baking soda & vinegar!
We created a chemical reaction in a film canister! The vinegar reacts with the baking soda and produces carbon dioxide gas. Pressure builds up until the small canister can no longer contain the gas. The lid pops off, the canister shoots up into the air, the gas escapes, and the pressure is released.

I is for ICKY SCIENCE

I ~ ICKY messy fun with Oobleck! Science with cornstarch & water!
Oobleck is a non-newtonian fluid. That is, it acts like a liquid when being poured, but like a solid when a force is acting on it. You can grab it and then it will ooze out of your hands.
Oobleck gets its name from the Dr. Seuss book Bartholomew and the Oobleck where a gooey green substance, Oobleck, fell from the sky and wreaked havoc in the kingdom.
