Thank you for supporting our learning by completing the parent/student interview! We will review the responses over the next couple of days. If you have not done so already, please support your child in logging into their email and answering the questions about how your homes are heated.

We are continuing to gather materials for our insulation project. Please note, you do not have to create the container, rather just gather household items from home that may support us in our creations. We continue to look for:

1.  - aluminum foil
2. - plastic
3. - newspaper
4. - cling wrap
5. - wax paper
6. - cardboard
7. - bubble wrap
8. - any thing else you think may be a good insulator! 
9.  

Please note, we are not asking families to purchase these items, but rather, gather items they are willing to part with from around the house. We will be collecting items from Tuesday, February 20th until Friday, February 23rd. Thank you for supporting our learning! 

Today we continued our exploration about different insulators. Students had the opportunity to explore a variety of common insulators. They had to decide if it was meant to keep the heat in, or the cold in. In groups of 3, students shared how they thought these items kept the heat in or the cold in. Please find some items at home that keep the cold in and those that keep the heat in! How do they work?

Here are some of the items we explored and discussed...

• Jacket
• Lunch Kit
• Ice Pack
• Coffee Mug
• Blanket
• Animal Fur
• House Insulation
• Toque and Mitts
• Refrigerator
• Stove
• Fire Place
