Good Morning P5/6/7

Here are some learning activities for you to have a look at on this snowy day.Senses Poetry – Open this file for instructions on how to write a descriptive poem using the 5 senses. Snow Day Poetry.

Magimix – Use 1,6,6,2,3,1 to equal 30.

Measuring – Use a ruler or a tape measure to find the depth of the snow. Record your findings.

STEM – Create a chain reaction. Use dominos, Lego, blocks, marbles, (anything you can find) to make the longest chain reaction you can. Film it toppling down and experiment with slow motion on a device if you have one available. The science: When you line something like dominos up they have potential energy. When you knock over the first domino this potential energy is changed into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.
