Updates for Humanities, Math and Science for 4E
This week students had 4 blocks to work on and build our mobile escape room. Our theme was "Robot Rocket Launch" and our clues were centered around our current Science topic of "Light and Shadow." We had LOTS of families come out on Thursday night to "escape" our room!
This week students did a written reflection of their learning on how light passes through objects and how it is reflected. We read the book "The Darkest Dark," about astronaut Chris Hadfield and how he was inspired by the dark to become an astronaut. Students discussed their dreams for the future. They were also given two more periods to finish up their creative journal pages answering these 3 things: - Explain how our eyes work. - Give 3 examples of how you can damage your eyes. - Give 5 ways you can PREVENT damaging your eyes. If their pages were not finished, their creative journals were sent home for homework and are due back on Monday, December 10. We also talked more in-depth about reflections and how shiny, smooth surfaces give off better reflections than rough, dark surfaces. Students were able to come up with many examples of good and poor reflectors.
