We've been doing LOTS of learning in our exploration Science centres. You can see these in your child's Google Classroom account! These centres give hands-on practice on the skills and knowledge that we're building throughout our units on Energy Conservation (Grade 5) and Electricity (Grade 6) so that we can move into an inquiry and building project about our topics. Grade 5 Energy Conservation centres allowed students to:
Grade 6 Electricity centres allowed students to:
You can watch one of the Ozobot circuits below. The Ozobot acts an electron going through a battery and different resistances within this parallel circuit. So what's happening next? We're BUILDING!! Stay tuned for project plans on Twitter and on the blog... Grade 5s will be building a Rube Goldberg machine. Grade 5 Google Classroom post #026 outlines this group project. Grade 6s have an open-ended challenge: plan, test, and build an electric device that works using a circuit that transforms electrical energy into another form (e.x.: sound, kinetic, light, etc.).
I'm just as excited as you are to see what these groups of kids come up with!
