Newton's Disk (4th Grade)

Hello children of 4th grade!

This week, in class, we have "met" Sir Isaac Newton, one of the most important scientists in history.

Why has he appeared in our lessons? Because our topic for these days is LIGHT, and he made a huge discovery! He discovered that WHITE LIGHT is made up of many colours:

RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO and PURPLE.

Don't you believe that? Then, try to do this experiment at home:

April: time to pick up vegetables!

Wow!

Our school's vegetable garden looks incredible!

We have lots of vegetables to pick up!

Electricity (6th Grade)

Good morning!

Children of 6th grade are experimenting with electricity.

First, we learnt that all objects have electrical charges. There are positive electrical charges and negative electrical charges.  Normally, objects have the same number of positive and negative electrical charges: they are electrically neutral.

But, we found out that negative charges can pass from one object to another. For example, by rubbing a balloon to a cloth or to our hair.

Now the balloon is negatively charged:
 

 The same charges repel:

This was STATIC ELECTRICITY.

Later, we built an ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT, which carries electrical current. We used:

1. A battery

2. Wires

3. A light bulb

4. A switch

April: we grow potatoes and we pick up... (3rd grade)

Hello friends!

We are at the beginning of April, so it's time to start growing potatoes in our vegetable garden! 

And also, we have picked some ONIONS, GARLIC and LEEK!

Broad beans need some more time...
