AIM: TO LEARN ABOUT THE NATURE OF PLANTS

Carnivorous Plants

Plants fall into two categories:

1. Evergreen

2. Deciduous

Evergreen: Find three examples of each:

1.  kauri

2.willow

3. cypress

Deciduous:

1.  oak

2.   plum tree

3.  maple

LEAVES

Simple                                 Compound   

Activity: Choose a leaf and do a leaf rubbing. Once you have done the rubbing, cut it out and glue it on the tree.

Mars

How to get to Mars

Aim: To learn about Mars exploration.

1. Rover facts 
2. Design, Draw and Make a Rover
3. Mars facts

1. Rover facts: 

What are the 5 parts for? 
Link: Rovers 5 parts

Fill in the table below.

Name:	Purpose:
Wheels	The Mars 2020 rover has six wheels, each with its own individual motor. The two front and two rear wheels also have individual steering motors. This steering capability allows the vehicle to turn in place, a full 360 degrees. The four-wheel steering also allows the rover to swerve and curves.
Solar Panel	to keep the rover moving so it doesn't die
Laser	can pick up dirt from 20 meters away
Camera	to take photos of mars and life on Mars
drill	the drill cuts out samples from Mars rocks

2. In groups of 3, you will Design, Draw and Make a Mars Rover out of Lego Technics.
Materials:

1. Lego Technics
2. A4 paper
3. Pencil
4. Ruler
5. Eraser

The drawing and model must have:

• 6 wheels
• 1 camera
• 1 tool at the front that includes a shovel, pick and drill.
• 1 solar panel
• 1 laser that points at the ground

 ( Take a photo and upload  your Mars rover onto your blog.)

3. Mars Facts

Moons and names

Conclusion: Write about what you have learned.

This week in our new class we are doing music. In or first lesson we research our minds for knowledge about music and the different types of music in a group of four. Today Mr. Michel played his different types of guitars and told us about the different parts on them. Then we had to do our glossary and explain the different parts and do our title page these are the photos of the different types of guitars.

3 glossary points:

tuning pegs- put tension on the strings to tune them.                          

capo- holds down all six strings at the same time.

backpack guitar- a guitar that has a small body that you can take places.
