Gr. 5s...Some Questions:

FORCES ACTING ON STRUCTURES AND MECHANISMS

 (a) What is a tornado? Where does the force of a tornado come from? What kinds of damage does a tornado inflict on the built environment (e.g., on structures such as houses and shopping malls)? What is the impact of a tornado on the natural environment (e.g., on trees, on animals such as fish and birds)? How can humans protect them- selves from the force of a tornado? (b) What is an earthquake? Where does the force of an earthquake come from? How is the damage from an earthquake different from that of a tornado? What is the impact of an earthquake on the natural environment? What can humans do to protect themselves from the forces of an earthquake?

Gr.4s...Some Thoughts:

PULLEYS AND GEARS

(a) Escalators run all the time, using large amounts of electrical energy. (b) A clothesline and a clothes dryer, which use pulleys or gears, are both used to dry clothes. Using a clothes dryer is faster than drying clothes on a line, but the environmental impact of the dryer is greater because it uses electricity or natural gas. (c) Gears reduce the effort needed to pedal a bicycle, but riding a bicycle still requires more effort and takes longer than driving a car to the same destination. However, the bicycle is more environmentally friendly because it does not use fossil fuel.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

The Elmlea Learning Garden is really taking off!

The Grade 5 students are thrilled and extremely excited to get started with the painting of the tire planters. As a farewell project and way to leave the Grade 5 Team legacy behind, students have created art designs for each planter. Students will be painting these planters. Please note that the paint used will be oil based exterior paint. All students have their own personal mask and gloves. In addition, all painting takes places only outside with the supervision of a teacher. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Mlle. Wardawa 

A few students have already started! Take a look!
