Welcome. This blogsite is a place to share and extend the learning that is happening in Rm 22. It is a place for the sharing of student work, links to sites that might help you with your homework or build on things we discuss at school. There is a message board where you can communicate with the rest of the class: http://www.wallwisher.com/wall/banksaveroom22.

Creative Snow

How could you use the snow in an interesting way?
Last night I put out a glass out on my verandah. This morning the glass was filled with snow:-) I squeezed fresh grapefruit juice and lime juice over it and it made a delicious slushy (although it was so cold that my lips went numb and I got very shivery!).



Some thoughts (although you probably have much better ones than me)
- sculpt something interesting in the snow (think outside of just a normal snowman)
- create some artwork using your observations of the snow - it could even be a study of a single snow-flake.
- build a toboggan course with ramps etc.
- measure and graph the snowfall or snow-melt each hour
- find out how much snow you have to melt to get a glass of drinking water (this is something mountaineers have to do)
- build an igloo



Record your activities with photos/drawings/recounts/diaries and share them with the class when we get back to school.
