Activity: Create your own narrative!

Look at the picture and think about who is in it, where they are, and what might happen next.

Write a short story about the characters and what they do. Remember the elements of a narrative:

-Characters (Who is in your story?)

-Setting (Where does the story take place?)

-Events (What happens in the story?)

-Conclusion (How does the story end?)

Draw a picture to show part of your story if you want!

STEAM week door competition:

Next week, we will be designing our classroom door. Our theme will be Changemakers. As Grade One students were looking at human impact in our previous UOI unit, we have decided to link this competition to the ocean habitat. Can you make some ocean animals out of recyclable materials to bring to school and add to our door?

# data[].attributes.body
Go on a house scavenger hunt to find:
- Something transparent
- Something flexible
- Something waterproof
- Something magnetic
- Something that can be recycled

Draw and label your findings in a notebook.

Create a sorting game about materials that can be recycled:
1. Collect clean, empty containers
2. Sort them into groups (plastic, paper, metal, etc.)
3. Make a chart showing which materials go where
4. Practice sorting

Materials needed:
- Clean recyclable items
- Sorting containers
- Chart paper

Activity: Compare Wood and Plastic

1. Find a few things around your house made of wood and plastic

2. Draw a Venn diagram (an adult may need to help you). Write "Wood" in one circle and "Plastic" in the other.

3. Sort your items into the diagram based on what they are made of.

4. Think or talk about...

What is the same about wood and plastic?

What is different about wood and plastic?

Extra for experts: Why do you think some things are made from wood, and others from plastic?

Rosie Revere, Engineer- Read aloud (Book focus for the week)

# data[].attributes.body
We have already read this book class this week. Feel free to re-read it and then complete the activities in the padlet. Extra for experts:

Why do you think Rosie keeps trying even though her inventions don’t always work?

What do you think Rosie learns from making mistakes?

How does Aunt Rose help Rosie feel better when she is feeling sad?

Why do you think Aunt Rose’s words are important for Rosie?

Why do you think Rosie’s inventions look silly or funny?

What do you think is special about thinking of new and funny ideas?

Rosie never gives up on her ideas. Why is that important?

Why do you think it’s good to keep trying even if things don’t work at first?

If you were an engineer like Rosie, what would you invent?

What problem would your invention solve, and how would it help people?

Remember the house you drew and labeled in class this week? From that, create a small house using recycled materials from around your home (cardboard boxes, plastic containers, paper rolls, etc.). Think about which materials are strong enough for walls, which ones can be used for the roof, and how to join them together. Draw your design first, then build it!

# data[].attributes.body
Test different materials to find out which is strongest:
1. Create bridges using different materials (paper, cardboard, aluminum foil)
2. Place small objects on top until the bridge breaks
3. Record how many objects each bridge held

Materials needed:
- Paper, cardboard, aluminum foil
- Small identical objects (blocks, coins)
- Recording sheet

In class this week, we explored materials in the classroom and objects brought in that we can squash, twist, bend and stretch.

Can you make a list or take photos and share on toddle objects in your household that can bend, stretch, twist, or squash?

Identify a simple problem at home (e.g., organising toys, saving water while brushing teeth) and design a solution using available materials. Draw your invention and label the materials used. Explain why you chose those materials.

Materials needed:
- Paper and pencils
- Various household materials for prototyping
