Melt an Ice Cube!

Today we had to melt an ice cube in the fastest time!  We had to roll a dice and follow the instructions. What worked best for some people was dropping it down your shirt because it melted faster when your belly was hot.  Some people thought that dropping the ice cube or using heat works the fastest. Blowing it in our hands would use our hot breath to heat the ice cube.  We think the salt worked because the salt burned the ice cube.  It was a fun activity!

Super Mario Day!

In grade 1 and 2, we had to save Princess Peach! She sent us a video of being stuck in Bowser's castle. We needed to go through 5 different worlds. In the underground world, there were tunnels and we needed to solve math questions and find the answer in the tunnel.  In the water world, we had to build boats out of tin foil and carried marbles and dinosaurs.  In the sky world, we have to read sentences and fill in words that were french and english.  When you found the missing word, we had to jump up and touch it.  In the castle world, we made towers out of cups and papers and tape. In the athletic world, we rode scooters to solve math questions.

Liquids Race

Today we raced oil, syrup and soap against each other to see who was the fastest!  First, we drew 3 circles and labelled them. Next, we had to use a eye dropper and placed 2 drops of every liquid. Last, tilted the paper and raced them down the page.  Syrup won the most races. Oil was a very close winner. Soap did not win many races.
