Indigenous Education With Mrs. Kevier

On Friday, Mrs. Keiver introduced the class to another group of indigenous people, the Inuit! We talked about where they live, and how they survived/survive living in the harshest of climates! Mrs. Keiver showed us a few traditional games and let the students try them out. Back then, the purpose of these games was to build your strength and skill so you could be a successful hunting and gathering food up in the North!

Chill City

Today in Science we experimented with how to bring light and warmth to a cold town that doesn't see the sun throughout the winter. This experiment was based on a real problem that occurred in a small town in Norway. With limited supplies, the students were asked to construct a model, then diagram how they would bring light and warmth to what we were calling "Chill" city. Here are some photos of the students working together to solve the challenge.

STEM Challenge with Selkirk

Today we teamed up with the grade eights from Selkirk to collaborate in a STEM challenge. The challenge was to design a method to control or stop flooding in a home. The students were given a list of constraints, a budget sheet, and supplies for building their barriers. There were a lot of unique designs, great collaboration, and some surprising results! Ask me about my flood barrier!
