"Science Rules!"

Today we had Science after lunch, and we worked with magnets. We did predictions if buttons, pennies, marbles, nails, screws, paper clips, pop can tabs, and staples would stick to a magnet. - Sydney

In the SLC we had this morning, we watched a little bit of Toy Story 3, where the kids were playing really crazy, messing up the toys, breaking them, putting them up their noses. We watched that because we were talking about how to care, share, and play fair outside on the playground. - Joey

Today, after recess, we had Phys. Ed. There was one station with football, two stations with soccer, one station where Ms. Beach timed us while we dropped three chickens in a hula hoop, and one station where we threw a ball against a rebounder and had to catch it. Grade 5 students were running the stations. - Cam H.

At all three recesses, most of the Radisson students played in the snow and made snowmen. - Jenna

As much as I love teaching Math, I love teaching Science. I love seeing students explore, investigate, and manipulate materials. Today, we began studying forces that attract and repel (magnetism, gravity, and static electricity), by watching a Bill Nye: The Science Guy video on magnetism, followed by a hands-on investigation of different everyday items, and whether or not they are attracted by magnets. The students had lots of fun 'playing' with the magnets and the objects, and then sharing their findings with the class. Bill Nye says it best on each of his videos: "Science rules!"
