Good morning Div. 5 Scientists! 

 Today there is a read aloud at 10am for all that are interested!! 

Your science mystery for today is, can animals laugh?  

  • Watch the video! 
  •  Answer the reflection questions form on teams!  
  • Try an extension: 

Try this experiment. Tell a friend or family member a joke — and laugh out loud when you get to the funny part. Now tell another friend or family member the same joke — but don’t laugh. Scientists say that people often laugh when they see someone else laughing. Do you think scientists are right about that? (If you need a joke, here’s our favorite: What’s orange and sounds like a parrot? (A carrot).) 

You can check out our next figurative language lesson: hyperboles! 

 

Last Sunday, May 17th was International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia Day (IDAHAT Day). Usually Burnaby School District hosts an IDAHAT breakfast, which some of UHE’s diversity club got to attend. This year, the event is virutal and open to all K-12 students and families. This year’s IDAHAT Reimagined event will be May 22nd from 10-11:30. Please see the letter below for more information about how to register. Please feel free to share this letter with anyone.
