Wednesday, October 19 - Falgarwood Does Science

Wow! What a great day! We had a wonderful day at the Ontario Science Centre. I saw some amazing things happening. Our kids were looking out for each other—sticking close to their buddies and helping each other. They were engaged in learning during our workshops—sharing, collaborating, taking turns, talking things through, listening attentively, trying new things. They should be so proud of themselves.

Huge thanks to all of our parents who came along to support our kids in their learning. We couldn't have done this without you!

Here are some photos from our Grade 1 Structures workshop:
What is it about this bridge that makes it really strong?
Why does the arch not fall down when we take away the supports?


Here are some photos from our Grade 2 Simple Machines workshop:
Can you sort these simple machines? 
How can ramps help you move the marble slowly from top to bottom?
