Homework - Due 5th March

Homework Week 6

This Friday is Year 3's assembly! All of grade 3 got together to talk about what we were going to present. We've decided upon showing off some of our fabulous Australian Landmarks art, teaching others about Project Compassion and Lent and finally sharing our Geography knowledge of the states and territories in Australia.

Your task for this week is write and learn one sentence which you are going to say at assembly. (Remember what you talked about with your group - natural / human feature / capital city / one fact, Lent or Project Compassion)

Don't forget you get 3 dojo's every week if your Mathletics tasks are up-to-date. You do get some time to do them in class but it would be great if you spent some time at home revising what we are learning too.

Solids, Liquids, Gases

An example;

1) SOLID: Salt
2) LIQUID: Orange Juice
3) GAS: Nitrogen

HOMEWORK WEEK 3 Due:11th February

This term our class is studying how a change of state between a solid or a liquid can be caused by adding or removing heat.  As part of our science unit Melting Moments we would like students to think about when melting is commonly seen in the home. The children have been undertaking some experiments in the classroom and their task this week is to;

Experiment with something at home that will change from a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a solid by adding or removing heat.

1. What was your experiment?
2. What did you do to change your object? What did it look like? How long did it take to change from a solid to a liquid?
3. Can you change it back into its original form/shape?

Please use some great scientific words in your comment so others can also learn from your experiment.
If you would like me to put up some pictures that you have taken of your experiment on the blog, please email them to me. Otherwise please bring in a photo or a drawn picture of your experiment next Wednesday 11th February for our science lesson.  

Happy experimenting :)
