What's Your Number

Here's an interesting link that Mr Cowan sent all of the teachers today.  It tells you what the global population was at the time you were born.

You just need to add in the month you were born, the date and the year and it will calculate and tell you how many people were on this amazing planet at the time you were born.  Pretty cool!

Interesting Sun Shots

While I was out on duty this morning, I had a lot of students come running up to me asking what the ring around the sun was.  When I looked, there was a huge ring around the sun - I've seen rings around the sun and the moon before but this was something else!  It was HUGE!!!!!!!!!

Have a look and see what you think.  What caused this??  Click on the links to the Google Docs below - some of the Room 14 students have been busy using their research skills.

You can see how big the ring was from this photo!

How Simple Ideas Lead to Scientific Discoveries

Here's a wee starter to work towards our inquiry this term.  This is your first 'official' look at what 'Flipping the Classroom' really means for us as teachers and learners.

You've had a taste for it through the change from a 'Homework' focus to a 'Prep for Learning' focus.

This is a very basic Flipped Lesson from TED Ed - a fantastic site you may want to explore more.  I've added the link to it on the side bar of our class blog.
