1st - Gas Detectives

Gas is invisible but on Oct 23rd, the first grade used their sight, hearing, touch and smell to find clues that it exists. We watched a candle extinguish when we covered it with a jar.

Ask your student why they can smell good food when it is cooking?

We moved ping-pong balls without touching them. Ask your student for a demonstration.

Finally we closed our eyes and listened to various sounds including a drum, bell, harp & tuning fork. We discussed how gas is needed for the vibrations of the sound to be carried to our ears.

Ask your student where the three smallest bones in their body are? (their ear)

Have a fun & safe Hallowe'en.
