Science
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.

Science Review 1
- What are forces? How do forces affect the way things move?
- How can you measure the amount of force that is needed to pull a toy car toward you?
- Explain how putting sand on a icy road can help prevent cars from sliding.
- Use the words balanced forces and unbalance forces to explain why the ball isn't moving. (Its on a slant, and not moving). What could change the motion of the ball?
- A force is a push or pull that can make things move.
- You can use a spring scale.
- The sand creates friction, slowing the cars down.
- The ball is not moving because of friction. A push or a pull could make it move.
