Travelling Scrapbook Project Step #2

November 16, 2013prep1f Global Education Leave a comment

We are beginning to develop our information for the scrapbook. So far we have shared who we are and a bit about ourselves by using the app Poplet on our iPad’s, as well as writing a fact about our school and drawing a picture of our favourite part of the school.
Today we are going to work on sharing some information about our town Traralgon. The people in our buddy school in Pakistan will probably know nothing about Traralgon so it is our job to share some highlights!
You will be paired off and with your buddy your job will be to research a particular aspect of Traralgon. You will then need to write your information down and draw a picture of it.
Lets get started!

Science Experiments: How clouds work

November 12, 2013prep1f Inquiry Leave a comment

This term for science we are investigating the weather. Each day we look at and discuss the weather whilst filling in our weather chart.
Last week, we focused on clouds. Students learnt about how a cloud holds (is made from) moist air. When the cloud can’t hold anymore moist air, it begins to rain.
Our materials used:
– Cups
– Shaving cream
– Coloured water
– Normal water

Method:
1. Fill your cup with water.
2. Squirt some shaving cream (the cloud) into the cup so it sits on top of the water.
3. Pour a little bit of the coloured water into the cup.
4. Continue to pour the coloured water into the cup to see it begin to rain!

Here are some photos from our fantastic experiment that engaged all of us!
