Welcome to Mr. Baker's Math and Science Home Page
This week students have been learning the process of generating a strong survey question. We were working hard to move away from the phrase "what is your favourite…" and create a more specific question. We came to ideas such as:
-What animal would you like to be for a day? -What is your opinion on hunting? -What emotion do you feel most in a day? -What pets do you own? Students also learned what makes a good answer and what answers can lead the results. Students then used a tally chart to record over 50 votes for their personalized question. Next week we will be drawing pictographs and bar graphs to represent our results. Practice your graphing with these sites: https://www.abcya.com/games/fuzz_bugs_graphing https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/51/bar_charts http://toytheater.com/fishing/ In science, students were learning about the resiliency of small seeds. They examined images from a Powerpoint of plants growing in harsh conditions. They needed to pinpoint the characteristics that are missing that should have stopped the seed from growing. They then used their research abilities to find their own image and are creating a visual representation of their plant. The Powerpoint is linked below:
