Summary
Summary
This was a tiered lesson that took our class just over a month to learn about and complete. Students started off by harvesting all the vegetables out of the school garden. They were all amazed at the yield we retrieved. Then, students learned about natural dyes. We researched how dyes were used around the world and how they have evolved. Students then trued to the first part of this project, natural dye stamping. The class went outside and found natural items they thought would stamp well. The result was better than they thought! Next, we went to the kitchen where student cut and boiled all the vegetables. Once the mixture cooled over night, we went out and painted our socks and scrunchies with the natural vegetable dyes. This was a great project to start off the year with so many lessons learned along the way!
Resources:
Natural dyes from beets, pumpkins, onions, green tomatoes, and red tomatoes (all grown from the garden at NHCS)

Summary
Summary
To wrap up our science units, we are pairing up to complete some special tasks so that we can apply what we have learned in each unit. For example, in our unit on matter, we focused on what matter is, changes of state, contraction & expansion. In our unit on forces, students will focus on how external forces create internal forces and how those can apply to structures such as a home or barn. They then look for ways to mitigate these factors. In our unit on Energy, they will find a way to get electricity from their continent.
Jabberwocky is a make believe planet based off a famous poem by Lewis Carrol. On this planet, are 8 different continents each with their own unique ecosystem from artic tundra to the Florida everglades.
We have also connected part of this project to art (techniques & organizational elements) where we are looking at urban and rural settings.
Curriculum Outcomes (Understandings):
Science:
Particles change speed & distance from each other when heated or cooled.
Most matter expands when heated and contracts when cooled.
connection to design and construction of structures.
Art:
Artistic choice can influence organization in artworks.
Spatial organization occupies, activates, or suggests space within an artwork.
Agricultural Outcomes:
I can identify characteristics of rural communities.
I can understand the value of land.
I can identify the use of simple machines in agriculture (hand tools).
I can explain the reason why simple machines reduce human labour in agriculture.
