In K5 Science we have learnt to mix paints to get other colours.
Blue and yellow make green, red and blue make purple and red and yellow-orange. How cool!
OBSERVING OUR VERY FIRST CD
We have started to analyse with magnifying lenses and under the microscope the growth of organisms on the CDs obtained from the Aquarium.
What did we find?
Filamentous algaes, leaf algaes, hydroids, bristle worms and some barnacles!
So great!
THE SNOWMAN
Today we’ve watched SNOWMAN in our Science class. Have a look at the pictures!
POLAR BEARS ARE COOL
Today in our Science class we have studied that Polar bears live in the Arctic, in the circumpolar north and in areas where they can hunt seals. Penguins live on the opposite pole. Penguins and polar bears are destined never to meet!
We’d like to introduce: Mr. Boney, our new Science teacher!
We are having a brand-new life-size human skeleton in our Science class! His name’s Mr.Boney. He is going to teach us about the human body and its bones.
Welcome Mr Boney!
POLAR BEAR ADOPTION
Daina-Isard has made a symbolic adoption of a Polar Bear through Polar Bears International Organisation. This will have a lasting effect on protecting and conserving polar bears and their arctic habitat.
Polar Bears International is the world’s leading polar bear conservation group – dedicated to saving polar bears by saving their sea ice habitat. Their focus is on research, education, and action. Thanks to the generosity of their supporters, they are steadily making progress towards their goal of saving polar bears and the sea ice on which they depend by reducing greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.
WORLD OCEANS DAY
World Oceans Day, held every June 8th, is the United Nations recognized day of ocean celebration and action to build a movement for ocean conservation. Today in K3 Science we have been celebrating this day too, colouring and watching a short movie about the oceans and their creatures. We haven’t forgotten polarbears either!
DROPS ON A PENNY EXPERIMENT
You might think that you can’t fit many drops of water on the surface of a penny. Pennies are just so small! In the Drops on a Penny experiment, though, we’ve investigated surface tension and cohesion at their finest. How many drops of water can fit? There’s only one way to find out… by adding one drop at a time and counting! – Have a look at the outcome!
LET’S TALK ABOUT BABY ANIMALS
What are baby animals called? Today in K4 Science we have learnt that the babies of some animals have special names.
Here are some of them:
dog-puppy, cat-kitten, cow-calf…
THE POLAR BEAR DANCE
We have recorded our Polar Bear Dance to send the video to Polar Bears International. Have a look at it.
