Classroom Learning
Today in gym we continued to work on the Mission Impossible course, as well as skipping. Students split up into two groups and while one went through the course, the others worked on their skills in skipping.












In science, students were introduced to a new unit on Electricity and Magnetism. Today, students learned that the universe is made up of 2 things: matter, and energy (what moves the matter). Choosing off of the periodic table, students drew an atom model of their chosen element. They labelled the nucleus, and drew in the protons, neutrons and electrons. Students made sure to include the appropriate number of protons (and electrons) according to the periodic table. After this, students used marshmallows and toothpicks to model different molecules, such as water and carbon dioxide, and then drew and labeled their models in their visual journals.
