On THIS post you learned about the first four Science centres... here are the next four. What can you do with these at home? Talk about them! Here are some prompts for when you're discussing with your child:
CENTRE 5: Students play Save the World online and then play Energy Dominoes together in class. Save the World challenges students to learn about different and alternative power sources and how we generate electricity for our daily activities. Energy Dominoes gives students a chance to review sources, forms, and examples of energy. CENTRE 6: Students get to explore a whole bunch of different toys - bouncy balls, Slinkys, pull-back cars, etc. Students discover what types of energy are used to make each move. What type of energy is lost in the system?
CENTRE 7: Students create a marble run and discover transformations of energy. CENTRE 8: Students explore the school with a wattmetre. They choose different appliances (fridges, water fountains, techtubs) and plug them into the wattmetre to discover how much power they are using in standby and active modes. The group below is checking out how much power the Chromebook is taking when it's not being used, as well as when they are watching a YouTube video, listening to music, or typing a document. They will share this information with other kids in the school to inform them on ways to conserve energy at KHPS! Comments are closed.
