Update

Hello everyone,
Sorry for the absence recently, I had to go home to assist with family matters in Australia. The students were left in very good hand with Mrs Samphire. We are coming closer to the March break and we have much to learn before the end of the year. Students are currently learning about Area and perimeter and will be moving on to division ASAP. We have been researching and learning about the many regions of Alberta and the different characteristics they each have allowing student to write an I survived story based on one of these regions. We are continuing to learn about simple machines in science and are beginning to make plans for our upcoming BMO entrepreneurial challenge where we will be using our scientific learning to create arcade games with recycled materials incorporating multiple simple machines. We have began using equipment in gymnastics working on balance, locomotion and controlled landings. I also heard that the students really liked the Auskick program that I was able to get to come in while I was gone and hope to be able to continue to teach these skills when spring time properly arrives.


This FRIDAY, MARCH 13th is DRESS AS YOUR FAVOURITE BOOK CHARACTER DAY!

Simple machines

What Is A Lever? A  lever  is a simple  machine  consisting of a bar that rotates around a fixed point. The fixed point of a lever is called the fulcrum. Like other machines, a lever makes work easier by changing the force applied to the machine or the  distance  over which the force is applied. Classes of Levers Other levers change force or  distance  in different ways than a hammer removing a nail. How a lever changes force or distance depends on the  location  of the input and output forces relative to the fulcrum. The input force is the force applied by the user to the lever. The output force is the force applied by the lever to the object. Based on the location of input and output forces, there are three basic types of levers, called first-class, second-class, and third-class levers.  Classes of Levers Class of Lever Example of Lever in This Class Location of Input & Output Forces & Fulcrum* Ideal Mechanical Advantage Change in Direction of Force?
