Ms. Watt's Class

~ MASCOTS! Red Megalodons, Green Sea Turtles, Blue Dolphins and Golden Goldfish all competed yesterday in our Underwater themed Sports Day which brought on a little more wetness than expected!
Thank you to everyone for their patience and continued good cheer as we switched around events while still managing to have tons of laughs and fun! Congratulations to the Blue Dolphins for their big Sports Day win!
Thank you to our PAC for providing such
yummy eats today! 

 ~ KERNELS of popcorn!
We invited division 9 to come over to share some popcorn and good books.
We popped some popcorn in an old fashioned hot air popcorn popper, the one that Miss Watt used as a Grade 3 student herself! It was so cool to see it close up instead of waiting outside a microwave!

 ~ 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.

~ We took the opportunity today to shade ourselves from the sun, break school rules & wear our favourite HATS all day long!
~ 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.
