November / December 3, 2010. Strong and Stable Structures. is a Grade 3 Science topic but Grade 4's will enjoy playing these games and will help them to remember principles they learned about last year. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/buildingbig/lab/shapes.html
This is a good site to reinforce concepts we learne4d about in our study of Strong and Stable Structures. Clickon some of the other tabs on this site to learn all about structures and the forces that act upon them.
Usbourne Quick Links is a wonderful source of information, with games, experiments ,both virtual and "hands - on", suggested books, web links and more. This is a good spot to bookmark on your computer. All the Usborne Links have been carefully tested and are student friendly.

Our first Science topic this year is all about the Life Science strand for Grade 3 & 4.
We have been learning about various Plants, Habitats and Communities.
We started with the Monarch Butterfly which lives in our own habitat. http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/animals/creaturefeature/monarch-butterflies/
We raised Monarch caterpillars in class, released them and visited the Carleton University Butterfly exhibit.
Next we looked at an Arctic habitat which is quite different with interesting creatures such as polar bears. An Arctic Tale can be reviewed at this link http://www.arctictalemovie.com/index.html?sect=kids where we learned about Global Warming and the effect of disapearing ice shield on the Arctic. More about the Arctic and Polar bears in particular can be explored at http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/animals/creaturefeature/polar-bear/
There are educational games, videos and more on this National Geographic website.
Have fun learning!
