Mon. Feb. 3 - Wed. Feb 5

This week we have continued our work around area, perimeter and volume.  We will be designing a lunar colony individually and then as a class.  Today we created a grid on our moonscape and added in coordinates.  Using the coordinates, we added craters to our own blueprints.

We continued reading Malala.

We read the article about a small group of Edmonton students who will have their science experiment relating to brine shrimp on the ISS this summer.  As they were reading, students were annotating their thinking, and then wrote the 5W's (who, what, when, where, why).  Shrimp in Space

We used the trundle wheels in small groups to determine the area and perimeter of a variety of spaces in the school.  This will help us when we are designing our lunar colony.
