We learned that air can be compressed.
How did you show what you learned?
We filled a balloon and taped it to a straw on a string. When we released the air, the balloon moved in the opposite direction of the opening.
What do you need to learn next?
We will prove that air is made up of different gasses.
1) There will be a properties of air quiz later next week.
2) Science Blue sheet is due tomorrow
3) Need to research what makes up air - Nitrogen, Oxygen, but what else.
4) Book Club - please complete your Week 1 readings.
5) Bring in their own set of headphones that would be very useful for the upcoming lessons, if they do not have some already. - From Mr. O'Reilly
6) Mark Your Calendars - Outdoor School is June 4 -7 - Info packages and permission forms will come home next week.
7) Mark Your Calendars - Volunteer Tea is Wednesday May 15

We Finally Understand Bernoulli's.... We Think
Agenda:
1 - Read 20 minutes each night - You can use Raz kids if you have an account.
We learned that Bernoulli's Principle means moving air equals lower air pressure.
How did you show what you learned?
We drew a diagram, labelled it, we used a model Air Foil, we observed the moving tin cans and Rhys' air foil shape.
What do you need to learn next?
We need to prove the last few properties of air.
1 - Read 20 minutes each night - You can use Raz kids if you have an account.
2 - Grade 6 Story and News Article PAT is Wednesday May 8th (next week). Get ready to write :-)
3 - May 23 - Fun Lunch from Panago
4 - Math homework - front side of the first page of the booklet
5 - Book Club - read your weekly amount by next Monday
