Electricity

Here's a little exercise we did in class today, to help students visualize "les trois règles de l'électricité". I much prefer hands-on activities but in this case, technology helps a lot.

Of special note:
Perhaps some of you are expert in the field, but keep in mind that because students are only in Grade 6 and 7, we need to keep things as simple as possible. It's been proven that when students learn too many new concepts (or terms) in one session, they will have difficulty understanding the concept being taught later on.

Division 3 students are gradually adding new vocabulary words to their "banque de mots" in Sciences and this is very exciting! This would be a great conversation to have over dinner this evening...

If you haven't had a chance to come by for a visit, you should really reconsider this as Division 3 students' work is now being displayed on various bulletin boards near our classroom. For this assignment, they were asked to visualize and reproduce various atom models.
