Science: Forces on Structures

We are learning about Force currently in Science Class.  Below are some videos used in class to teach the students:

1.1 analyse the effects of forces from natural phenomena (e.g., tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis) on the natural and built environment.

The R-Files: Excerpts From a Classroom

Below are some pictures of Classroom Activities we have done as of late.

Science:  Measuring Force with Spring Scales.  We discussed the force of gravity, and how to measure gravity.  We learned how to use a spring scale properly.  We had a blast!

Social Studies:  Instead of writing a test, we performed skits highlighting a day in the life of a habitant in New France.  They.  Were.  Hilarious!  They were also very rich in content and informative.  Awesome!

Life in New France

Habitant farmers had cows on their farms.

The habitant farmer married a "Fille de Roi"

Measuring force...hmmmm

Let's see..how many Newtons???

We are so happy learning!

I love Science!

Check it out!

The boys proceeded to get the Newton Scale stuck in my cup.

Hmmmmmmm...

Force and Structures

We have finished up our Social Studies Unit on New France, and have begun our Science Unit on Force and Structures.

We began with discussing the meaning of Force.  Here are some videos I used to explain force.

Today we will be measuring force with Newton Scales, and discussing the origins of Newtons.
