SKETCHING and MAGNETIC RACES!!

******Reminder: Today a form is coming home for our upcoming Wetlands Walk on Thursday April 27th. If you can volunteer please email myself or Mrs. McDonald. Please visit: http://tucanada.org/yellow-fish-road/ if you would like some more information about why we will be stenciling a yellow fish on our storm drains surrounding Royal Oak School.

Ask me why we need to protect our storm drain water?

Social Studies
We are learning about Nova Scotia and Peggy's Cove. These songs help us to remember the Provinces and Capitals of CANADA.

Science/Art

Today we explored Magnets. We investigated whether we could make a car move using magnets and if so why? or if not why? We explored the scientific vocabulary of:

REPULSION
MAGNETIC FIELD
MAGNETIC FORCE


We also reviewed which metals are magnetic:

We came up with a hypothesis about how to make our cars move forward and why some cars moved faster then others. Ask me what I had to do to make my car PUSH forward and what happened when I turned my magnet the other way. How do I know if my car and magnet were exhibiting  

Big Ideas:
Magnets won't move until they enter the magnetic field.
