Messy Fox

I got this idea from 'The Starry Night':

Stuff I did in S.S (Co-op)

> Subject: Social Studies - Class Activities
>  Geneva suggested you may want to forward this to your contact teachers!

> - Over 4 classes the children filled out worksheets on children's and there related responsibilities
> Together the class came up with responsibilities, later we added scripture related to the idea.
> - the children we're ask to form a circle  - we past a ball of yarn, around -  each person held a piece - then past it to the third person from them- when everyone helped a piece a web was formed- then I ask one person to make the yarn shorter- to do this it messed up the web- when another person let go of there piece the web began to fall apart. This was done to demonstrate the giving and taking of rights - and how we are interdepend as a society
> - children divided into two groups - given a large poster board- asked to draw a large simple drawing of a child - boy or girl - name the child - then they were given 5 sticky note each and ask right thing the child needs to go up healthy and happy and place these on their child - then they were told the child's father lost his job and they had to remove five things - they decide together what were the least important things- then a flood or fire made the situation worse and they had to remove five more- - the two groups compared what had they removed first - what was in common with what the all choose to keep - this was done to look at needs and want and the issue of poverty
> -in class the children were shown how make a circle graph of their day ( like Sita's) example for rough copy was on the board, to use to make a rough copy for their own
> - looked at similar activities they as a class do in a then decided what the categories should be for their circle graphs
> - later we discussed and compared their day to Sita's how much time did they spend working, free time... To prepare for a paragraph comparison of life styles
> - labeled map of Nepal - features - mountains, rivers,
> - filled in statistics - content, capital, population, area, resources industry etc.
> - using example on the board the class drew a diagram of A poverty cycle
> - Filled out worksheet an social safety defining things like long term aid, foundation
> - after talking about type governments - I became a dictator - communistic - and required the child to all bring items for shoe a box - one student suggested we do two, another that we do older boys ( more people choose girls ) they voted - all agreed
> - review of government - filled out chart of Canadian Government Structure - showing branches of government - We discussed, then I wrote definition or description on the board and the filled it in under the right heading
> - work sheet on how the government is formed - done tougher in class
> - class was asked to highlight ' government ' as we read notes on Centrally controlled economy
> and  highlight ' business ' when we read through notes on Market- oriented economy
> - did work sheet on Economies words to know
> - presented the coupon booklet as a possible fund raiser and as an example of business opportunity - cost of each book - potential profit earned from each -
> - played the game of Life first, communist / dictatorship way - no choice of career, only two babies- pay roll everyone given almost the same amount  - boring - then played normal way much better
> - where given map of China - filled
> - watched a video on Canada's trade history  - brief history and how our good relationship with British affected our trade and development of manufacturing compared to the USA who broke of ties and began manufacturing more - how water ways affect settlement and trade- who Canada trades with - export of natural resources - import of manufactured goods- answered the questions worksheet relating to video - looked at map of the Pacific Rim - discussed how coastal cities  access to shippingS

What is an advantage to a screw? What disadvantage? You can keep things closed or together. It can unscrew at any moment and collapse.

S.S To Canada! What would you do if you moved to a different country? What are the good's and bad's?

Bad	Good
We would have to pack our things. We would have to clean our house. We would have to leave our friends. We would have to leave our car if we took a plane. Mom and Dad would have to get new jobs to buy a new car and house. We wouldn’t  know the neighbourhood.	We would meet new people and learn new things. There would be more to explore. We would see new sights. We would taste different food. It would be like a big adventure.

Science. Inclined Planes and Wedges

Is an inclined plane the same as other simple machines? An inclined plane is sort-of like a wedge.

How does an inclined plane make work easier? What are the disadvantages? Its easier to carry things up a slope than up stairs cause you can use wheels to get the things up, But if you drop a round ball it will roll down the slope.

Think of a kind of wedge. How does it make work easier? A doorstop could keep a door from swinging closed when your hands are full.

Make a picture on how to improve this wedge.

A rough bottom could improve the grip on the doorstop to the floor so it doesn’t slip closed.      

What is an inclined plane? A sloped surface.

S.S. The British in Canada

What symbol is on the Canadian flag? The maple leaf.
What does this symbol represent? It represents our community and how we have no specific belief, opinion, distinction of race, or language.
Create a symbol for Canada. Explain what it says about Canada.

I drew this because Canada is a protected  country. Everything is shared equally among the people. Canada brings joy to its subjects.

LOTs of MATH

B.C. Science Probe Grade 5/Chapter 4:Design your own experiment

Step 1	Place your tile, sandpaper, fur and wood on a table,
Step 2	Take your tile and push it along the sandpaper, observe how much friction is made when you move the tile along the sandpaper,
Step 3	Repeat step 2 except with the fur instead of the sandpaper,
Step 4	Repeat with the wood,

Prediction	Was my prediction correct?
I predict that I would need more force when I slide the tile across the sandpaper,	Yes, my prediction was correct,
And I wouldn’t need as much force for the fur and wood,	Yes, my prediction was correct,

Interpret Data and Observations

1.Which surface required the greatest amount of force to move the block?

Answer: The sandpaper,

2. Which surface required the least amount of force to move the block?

Answer: The fur,

3. How did the surface texture effect the amount of force needed to move the block?

Answer: The surface of the sandpaper was rough and created more friction, making the block stop faster. However, the surface of both the fur and wood was smooth, creating less friction, which caused the block to move easily.

4. Look back at my prediction. Did my results fully support, partly support, or not support my prediction? 

Answer: My prediction was exactly correct, the result was the same.

B.C Science Probe Grade 5/Chapter One: Force/Chapter Two:Weight

Chapter 1

Check My Understanding of Force:
1.What is a force?
Answer:A force is a push or a pull on a object.
2. Think about riding a bike or skateboarding. Choose one of these activities and describe, in words or pictures, how force is used to...

• start and stop moving
• change speed
• change direction

Answer:You use force to do such things by...

• pushing or kicking or holding or getting in the way of the object you want to start or stop moving
• pushing or kicking gentler or harder
• pushing or kicking the object in a certain direction

Chapter 2

Check My Understanding of Weight:
1. What tool can you use to measure force?
Answer: A spring scale.
2. Would you expect to get the same results in the Try This activity if you did it on the Moon? Explain your answer.
Answer: No, the spring scale wouldn't have the same results because of the low gravity on the Moon.

Aboriginal and European Peoples

At first, the European's and Aboriginal's were peaceful, but when settlements were built and farmland developed, conflict started.

The Aboriginals had begun to steal food. Shots were fired and one person was fatally wounded. This caused a shift between the two peoples.

The first legal execution of a Aborigine happened on June 10th 1840. The first settler to die was 19 year-old George Mackenzie who was speared by the Murray River on July 17th.

It became clear to the Aborigines that the settlers were going to stay there for good, and it was assumed that they were going to come into Aboriginal law. In Aborigine society it was normal that people who had little take from who had more.
The settlers thought this as stealing and protected their property. If a Aborigine was killed, than they called for their law called 'payback' which one of the settlers must be killed for the one Aborigine that they killed, this could call for any of the settlers. This was quite terrifying to the settlers.
The Aborigines outnumbered the first settlers, (About 200 in number) the question may be asked, why hadn't the Aborigines shooed them away as soon as they set eyes on them?
The Aborigines thought they were long-gone relatives that the sea had washed away the color in their skin.
When they realized their mistake it had been too late.
By 1832 the Aboriginal raids had become more organized and the Aboriginal warrior, Yagan, came to the notice of settler authorities. His mother, Moyran, was also of a high ranking in the tribe and was also getting suspicious of the 'white spirits' taking over the land.
The next major incident, when trouble flared up once more, was over flour. Aborigines had been given small portions of flour and when the supply dried up, the Murray River tribe raided the flour mill in the Swan River Settlement (Perth), held George henton at spear point and took 980 lbs of flour. The local Aborigines saw the raid as a attack into their territory and helped identify the raiders who were captured and punished.
Killing started again with the spearing of Trooper Hugh Nesbit on July 24th 1834. The killing seemed odd to the settlers because Nesbit had befriended the Aborigines and was the one who handed out flour. With Aboriginal system of 'payback', being friends with the Aborigines made no difference. Tribal law over-rode any friendliness that may have existed. He was lured into a bush and speared many times. (He was only 19 when he was killed.).
On October 27th 1834, James Stirling, J.S. Roe, Thomas Peel and Captain Ellis accompanied by a party of 21 police and soldiers, began to track the killers down and locate them on the 28th not far from the current site of Pinjarra. Ellis was speared (He died of his wounds 2 weeks later) and a battle happened which in some accounts 30 Aborigine were killed and 30 to 40 wounded, many being women and children. There continues to be disagreement about the numbers killed during this battle. One thing is for certain, the Aborigines lost.

POEMS

The Earth
Sky so Blue,
some flowers too,
ground is green,
also sometimes clean,
tree trunks are brown,
people are dancing around,
take care of the Earth,
baby animals take birth.


The Sky and all it contains
Blue with a spot of white,
a little bird would make it right,
You may see a kite,
When it’s dark and kind of creepy,
The sun goes to sleepy,
the moon slowly rises, the stars come to life,
a calmness cools the earth below,
and everything is moving slow,
Sometimes it starts to rain,
And the droplets dance to the sky and all it contains.

Shiloh, the book, workbook stuff.
