June is Almost Here!

Boat launch is on the minds of our class lately! I have heard some awesome ideas from students who have already started building! Today we learned about catamarans and how having 2 hulls helps to make a boat super stable. I am excited for students to strat building at home and bringing in their boats. A note is coming home today about the boats themselves and other important June dates! They are blue and yellow! Please take a close look!

Boat Launch

Just a heads up about our boat launch! This is one of my FAVOURITE activities in Grade 2! Right now we are learning about boats and buoyancy. Students are learning about why/how things float, displacement, building simple boats and materials that make a good boat. The launch will be on June 12^th at Nicholas Sheran Lake. Students will need to have a boat built and ready to bring to school by June 9^th. We will be testing the boats at school for buoyancy and their ability to carry a load (3 or 4 soup cans). I don’t expect boat building to start yet as we still have a few more concepts to learn but I like to give everyone a heads up so collecting materials and planning can start! ALL BOATS WILL BE BUILT AT HOME. Students should be in charge of ideas and planning but will of course need adult help. Recycled plastic bottles, Styrofoam, plastic and pool noodles are all great materials. Ducktape is also helpful and waterproof! Boats should be a manageable size for students to carry independently and able to fit in our water table for testing.
