Connections to nature this spring have been very strong.  We have worked on creating, growing and changing in areas of science and literacy.

When we went to Grow Calgary, we saw the importance of plants to humans and their importance to the natural environment. We saw examples of plants being used as a source of food or shelter, and be aware of the role plants play in the environment; e.g., preventing erosion, maintaining oxygen.







It was a long hot day, and by the end we were absolutely exhausted.

Ready-Set-Go!

In science we also had to design and construct devices and vehicles that employ energy-storing or energy-consuming components that will cause motion.  We used elastic bands and balloons to move our cars forward.

We were able to identify steps to be used in constructing a device or vehicle, and work cooperatively with other students to construct the vehicle.
