Science Roadshow 2013

This morning we were lucky to be able to go to the Science Roadshow.  Share your learning about what you found out / learned.  Were there any surprises??

I'm loving reading your thinking - remember to be really specific about what you loved and why and also what you learned.  Think about where else you could go for more information.  Who could you ask?

Here is a link you might like - Science Careers Activities.  This is from the online resources for the Science Roadshow.

For someone in our class who is leaving...

I think someone in our class is leaving and she came to visit us today. I found this picture on Tumblr and I thought it was really cool and I'm letting the whole class take credit for it. Plus it suits the situation.

A Thought For This Week

"Too often, we look without really seeing."

What do you think this quote means - what does it mean to you?

Sir Edmund Hillary

This week is a special week in our history.  View the clips below and then participate in the discussion.  Add your thoughts and ask questions to get the discussion going.
What has made the week so special?  What made this event so special?

 

 

 

Here is another link you may be interested in - it's a school district article about students being able to climb Mount Everest virtually.  It does have an error in it though.  I wonder if you can spot it - remember what I was saying to you about being a critical thinker when you're reading information on the Internet??  Happy Analysing, using Prior Knowledge and Questioning!!!

To This Day - By Jade

Remember this video from a few weeks ago?    Well I thought we could start a conversation on what our general feedback was to the video.


What did you think when you first saw it?                                    
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How can you change what happens to these kind of kids?            
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How did this affect you opinion (if it did)?                                    
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Does this relate to you?


If you can't remember it here is it now...

This post isn't much but means more to others that feel this way, so think about it, does this mean that we should let this happen? Why do you think people even do this?  Does it not make you cry every time, because if you don't then maybe you don't realize the pain...

And for those who feel this remember
IF YOU CAN'T FIND ANYTHING BEAUTIFUL ABOUT YOURSELF, GET A BETTER MIRROR, LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER, STARE A LITTLE LONGER! BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING INSIDE OF YOU THAT MADE YOU KEEP TRYING WHEN EVERYONE TOLD YOU TO QUIT!
