Some photos from yesterday's visit from a group of Chemical Engineering students from The University of Toronto:

Watching some demonstrations

Setting up the lava lamp

Bishop's observations

Homemade lava lamp:  mixture of oil, water, food colouring, and Alka Seltzer

A captive audience

Bishop:  very engaged

Notes on density by the visitors

Studying the viscosity of syruo

Learning about density

The King Henry lesson will be explored some more.  Not to worry!  We will also be doing some running and walking outside to get a sense of distance and the units we might use to measure length (from millimetres to kilometres).

Here is a summary sheet I have used in the past to explain King Henry.  I will be sure to get a copy for you for your Math duotangs.

Tomorrow we will be watching some video clips on Malala to help you understand her situation and life a little more.  Had I been in today, we would have watched them and this would have helped you a little more with answering the questions.  Not to worry: this is not being graded and used to get you comfortable with comprehending/understanding what you are reading.  In the meantime, watch this Youtube video:
