The mystery of liquid!

今月のscienceの授業は【Liquid】について学んでいます。
今日はliquidが変幻自在な、常に形が変わりうるものだということを実証しました!

The liquid takes shape of its container.
Unlike liquid, solid things does not change shape.
Take a look at this block. Does this change shape?
"NO!"
That's right!

Now, let's experiment how the liquid change its shapes!
First, pour the liquid in the measuring cup.



There are 150ml of juice.
150mlのところでそれぞれ線を引きます。



一見右の方が多そうですね。
Containerの大きさによって、liquidの量も変わって見えます。

Ok, now let's experiment with many different types of container.



"Which  one has more? Which one has less?"

"I think this one has more than that one!"
 "I think it's less.""

みんな真剣に考えています。
早く結果を知りたい!という様子です。



Let's check!



"How much is the juice?"
"150ml!"
"What about this container?"
"150ml!"
"The other one?"
"150ml!"

WOW! It's all 150ml!

見た目ではLiquidの量がまったく違ったように見えたのに、
すべて量が一緒だったことにみんなとっても驚いていました。

The mystery of liquid!
みんなとても楽しんで学んでいました。
Well done!

Submarines deep down in the sea http://t.co/46DopnohHl #jugem_blog

Submarines deep down in the sea
 

May's theme is
"Transportation"

Twinkle Star Class Report:

To go with the theme, we made car tracks by dipping car wheels into paint.
After that, the children could freely move the cars on papers creating car tracks.
Later on, we glued vehicle pictures onto the tracks.



Pluto Class Report:

We classified the vehicles into three categories:
Ones that travel by sea, on land, and in the sky.


Miss Kate: Do buses go in the sky?
Students: No!



On "Picasso Day" we also learned about Henri Matisse and his use of color and shape.  Look at our masterpieces!

Aquarius Class Report:
We learned about vehicles that “Travel by Sea.” 
We talked about different water vehicles and discussed how they move, 
using vocabulary like “sail” and “propeller.” 
Next, students watched a video of an unconventional aircraft, a hovercraft, and talked about vehicles that can go in the water AND in the air or on land. 
Then we learned all about submarines, while jamming to the Beatles’ classic song 
“Yellow Submarine.” We imagined that our classroom was a submarine, 
and took a tour of the bottom of the sea. Students drew “submarine windows” 
and thought about what they might see outside through a porthole while under the ocean.






They have just drew the sea.
They have just drawn "deep down in the sea"
and...

now we can see what's on land as well!
Let's see what comes next!!

Our Pets! ~ Blacky & Rainbow growing
 
Almost 5 days has passed since they came,
two tiny black caterpillars became middle size fat green caterpillars!

Aquarius students have made a Life Cycle sheet.
Can't wait to see them become cocoons and butterflies.

Solid and Gas(Steam) http://t.co/vINPoXaQUK #jugem_blog

Solid and Gas(Steam)
Hello everyone!
今日のScienceでは、 先週のLiquidの授業を踏まえたうえで、
Liquid-Solid-Gasのcycleを学びます!
まずはliquid⇒solidへの変化です。

"What do you think will happen when we put water in the freezer?"

Let's experiment!
First, we pour some juice in the silicon case.



Now, let's put it inside the fridge!



Be careful, don't spill!



冷やしている間も、温度計を設置して
温度がどんどん下がっていく様子を観察しました。
The temperature is getting lower, and lower.....

When it reaches 0 degrees, it freezes!

凍るのを待っている間に、
氷を使って逆の実験をしてみます!Solid⇒Liquidへ!
"Hold the ice tightly,"
"It's soooo cold!"
"Now, open your hand, what happened to the ice?"

It's getting smaller! It's melting!



またポットを使ってLiquid⇒Gas(Steam)になる様もみんなで観察しました。
"When  you boil the water, the some water turns into a steam!"

ポットから噴出す蒸気をみんな不思議そうに眺めていました。

そうこうしている間に、I think the ice is ready! Let's check!



It's frozen!
オレンジ味のアイスキャンディーができました!
Yummmmm!!!!

とても美味しい実験を、みんなとってもenjoyしたようです。
