Soccer Trip - by Luc Hewitt

Message from CACD regarding our Chemistry Video

Hi Mrs. O'Hara,


Well, you just made my day! Thanks so much for sharing this!

Can you give me the full names of the students who created the video. We would like to acknowledge their efforts. I see that the video said Katherine and Amanda but I would like to note their full names and grades.

Secondly, can we have permission to post this video on our Facebook page? We love showing what value the kids get out of it. For inspiration of course!

Once again, thanks for sending this over and thinking of us. We REALLY appreciate it.


Have a super day,

Catherine

Electricity

Here’s a link to the video that we will be watching during Science on Monday.  It is about the man from India that is able to conduct high voltage electricity through his body. Remember not to try this at home. The man in this video is able to survive high voltage electricity because he has a higher resistance to electricity than an average human. The resistance to electricity is measured in Ohms using a multimeter.

Character Building Activity - due Thursday, June 6th
