The first scene was about landfills and the second was about climate change. Both focused on how humans are affecting animals and nature, and on what we can all do to help, for example planting trees and recycling as much waste as possible. Actors brought their fantastic masks home today and could definitely use the techniques they used to turn more recycled materials into awesome costumes!
Here's some more grade 1 science... Today students worked together to build their own strong walls using what they've learned in previous experiments. They chose their materials and assembly pattern and justified why their wall would be strong giving three reasons (e.g., "we chose the cubes because they attach", or, "our wall is thick"). In the tennis ball test, none of the walls broke or fell over! Ask your builder what three factors contributed to their wall being strong!
