PE/Health/Well-being-Daily
 
Gonoodle: Try Knicky, Knacky, Knocky knoo.

Go for a ride around your neighbourhood or to your local park. You might ride a scooter, bike, ripstick, roller skates… remember your helmet.
Science-Today


Watch on Youtube:
For a demonstration and an explanation.

This experiment shows how air can create a force.
You will need:
Balloons
A straw
Thin wire-Fishing line is perfect.
Tape
Thread the straw onto the wire.
Attach the wire between two stationary objects-chair legs work well and pull the wire until it’s straight.
Blow the balloon up and attach it to the straw with tape.
Don’t tie the balloon just hold it so the air is trapped inside the balloon.
LET THE BALLOON GO! What happened?
Watch the Youtube clip again:  A Force is a Push or Pull.

Problem-solving Activity.

You can choose one or both problems to do.

Stick Shapes-Think about the features of a 2D shape.

 

You can use two short sticks and two long sticks to build a rectangle. 

What other shapes can we make from these four sticks? Give each of your shapes a name.

 

Note: This activity requires materials for manipulation. The sticks could be actual sticks or just strips of paper.

 

Here’s another challenge: You need to think about


Odd one out
Eva, Tamati, Noah and Jo are looking at the objects. Eva says, ‘Hey, the square is the odd one out.’ Tamati says, ‘No, Eva, the circle is the odd one out!’ Noah says, ‘No, it is the box!’
Jo says, ‘Well you are ALL wrong! The pentagon is clearly the odd one out.’
Who is right and why?
This problem explores some basic properties of shapes. It is important to get a good 'feel for' shapes, to name common shapes correctly and to begin to identify their properties.
There is no correct answer to this problem. It is likely that they will come up with several answers. Accept correct answers and ask for them to explain their thinking.
