Year 3 & 4

The weather was shining on us last week as we took our Year 3/4 students outside to learn about capacity. We filled up containers, measured the water and recorded our data in millilitres. Students explored what 1 litre means, and they were able to estimate amounts of liquid in 1.25l bottles. We also borrowed our STEAM equipment to show amounts using square measuring boxes.

Location was also explored as we drew 2D maps about familiar and unfamiliar areas. Students created birds eye views of their houses and our school, and then labelled the maps using a key. We also practiced using a scale to determine the exact distances between places.

Last Monday, we were excited to see Nicky from Monash University again, as she took our students for a Science incursion. We made sun ovens and we will be checking them over the next few weeks to see if we can actually ‘cook’ food using reflection and the sun. Thanks Mrs Baum!
