Windmills

Hi grade 2s and Maple,

Yestrday we had Scientist in the school. We had some activities about wind and water. I will tell you guys 1 activity. It was about windmills. We made windmills there. There was 5 colours of paper Blue,Pink,Green,Yellow and white. The peace of papers was for the place where the wind blows. And we used toilet paper rolls to stand them up. And when you blow the paper part it would move quickly. I learned that Windmills make Energy for lights,computers and other stuff.

Water wheels

Hi Mrs. Sawyer's class and maple

Yesterday we had scientist in the school. We learned about water and wind. My group was in a very fun group. We made water wheels out of Styrofoam plates. After we were don we tested them by putting it on a stick and pouring water on the water wheel and the water wheel moved. We learned how to make water wheels and that they grind weet into flour. We had a lot of fun and I hope they come back next year.

When water is frozen

Does water take up more space or less space when it is frozen??

We took a cup of water and meshered it and went to the staff room and froz it and at the end of the day we check't it and it was a little taller.

When water is frozen it takes up more space because we meshered it and it was higher.
