March 29th - April 2nd

We hope you all had a great spring break! It was lovely to be back together as a community after the time away.

We also hope you have a wonderful long weekend and a nice Easter, if you celebrate it. 

What Did Students Do This Week?

Thank you to our amazing volunteers who made our “What’s the Matter” learning experience such an awesome opportunity! Students learned a lot and had a very fun time.

This week, the grade three students explored the fascinating world of matter through a presentation and a variety of hands-on, engaging experiments. Students focused on how materials can change, especially when heated or cooled. Students investigated solids, liquids, and gases, describing their properties in terms of shape and volume, and deepened their understanding through simple investigations.

Science Learning Outcomes (I can….)

• I can conduct an investigation to demonstrate changes of state.

• I can describe solid, liquid, and gas states of matter based on properties like shape and volume. 

• I can describe the changes of state of water using the water cycle. 

Possible Questions to Ask Your Child:

• What was your favourite part of the “What’s the Matter?” presentation?

• What are the three states of matter? What is the difference between them?

• How did you make soap? How did the states of matter change during this experiment?

• How did the balloon blow up? What state of matter did it fill up with?
