Well the day is finally here. This evening is the Science Fair. The girls will present their Science Projects. I am so impressed with what the girls have achieved. If you are interested in a little preview of what the girls have done, check out the their blogs. Many of them have written about their topics.
Stay tuned. We will post the poster board for their experiments, very soon.
We have been studying 2-D Geometry in math. If you are a little confused about the different quadrilaterals, then check out “Math is Fun“. This website is an awesome resource.
Well girls, it sure is a busy time. Your project at the moment is essentially your Science Fair Project. So far, I am impressed with the work that is being done. We are rally starting to get into the experiments this week. Remember, keep working on your good copies and proofread everything.
Also, we have had some great presentations. Take for example, Nectarines presentation on the important topic of sugar. We also had some excellent discussion points afterwards, like the importance of a healthy diet. Icequeen, got us all thinking about why we do clinical testing with mice and if those tests are valid. We talked about the similarities of a mouse anatomy and that of a human. I am always so impressed with the caliber of thinking that goes on in my class.
Happy New Year, parents and students. We have hit the ground running, with a new Social Studies project to get cracking on right away (Due: Friday, 20th January). On top of that, the Science Fair will be upon us before we know it, so the girls need to finalise their science question, by Monday (16th January).
Also, next week we are starting our research subject presentations. The subjects are:
Like last year, each girl will present a subject every two weeks (Present one week and have the second week off). We will rotate through the subjects, so that each girl will cover each subject area.
Well done Pipsqueak, on a great “Journalist” presentation this morning.
Also, while we’re at it, check out Pipsqueaks ‘Habitat Game’
Well here we are, with our last project before the winter holiday. I am hoping this one will be a fun one. Each girl is to devise a board game based on what she has learned in science. Our topic has been “Habitats”.
Date Due: Monday, 19th December
