Science:

This week we finished landscape paintings, studied mountain forming principles, and learned about rocks and minerals and mineral identification.

Students did a great job of testing minerals and problem solving to determine which type of mineral they were testing. This was a challenging lab and they problem solved like emerging scientists.



Alberta Mountain Landscape painting was a big success!!!

Students reinforced their understanding of the folding and faulting that forms mountains by observing their images and painting the mountains with as much detail as possible.

Thanks to Ms. Baillargeon for her help with painting technique!!!

They did an amazing job!

The photos included here are a few examples.
