More Oobleck and Our First Spelling List!
Well, it has been an exciting day here in Grade 2/3 once again! Today for science, we started taking everything we have learned about Oobleck and it’s properties and have begun the process of designing vehicles that would be able to land/drive on an ocean of Oobleck, explore the ocean of Oobleck and be able to get off the ocean of Oobleck without being stuck.
At our last class, we had a convention. Scientists use conventions as a way to share ideas and to see what other scientists have done. At our convention, we came up with a list of important rules or properties we discovered about Oobleck. The students will have to keep these in mind as they design their Oobleck machines.
At the end of the class, we saw a little video showing what would happen if you walked or ran on Oobleck. Here is the video.
This video could help us understand how a vehicle would work on an ocean of Oobleck.
A big thank you to Aidan who discovered what would happen if you put a pan of water on a loud speaker. Aidan said that the water only splashed an made waves which is very different than what happened to the Oobleck.
On a completely different topic, here is our spelling list for the week. You can copy the words down to work on at home or you can just print a copy of the words using the option on the window below or downloading it from the Box.net widget to the right!
Have a great night. Book orders are due on the 18th of September!

i did a storybird mr.h
What was your storybird called Stef? I didn’t know where to look. If you made it private I won’t be able to see it. Make sure you have it set to public.
Mr. H
mr.h can you please help with that if so, thanks~stefanie dekoning
Stef,
Log into storybird with your username and password. Click on published stories and look at the book you created. Underneath your book you will see some information inlcuding whether your bok is private or public. If it says private, click the blue edit link and change it to public.
Mr. H
how do you do the title.
Just click on the cover page and move your mouse onto the coloured box on the left hand side. A box should appear where you can type. Click in the box and you should be able to start typing.
Mr. H
go on to http://www.googleimages and put in the search bar “lamborgini”!***
