Cookie Mining

Today we broke apart cookies to see all the minerals inside. A cookie is like a rock it has a lot of minerals inside. A mineral is like a chocolate chip because it is chocolate all the way through. We liked this activity because it was fun taking all the minerals out of the cookie. The cookie was delicious! We have also tested the hardness of different minerals using a steel nail, a penny and a finger nail. We found out that not all minerals have the same hardness. We did a streak test to see if the mineral left a mark behind.

Our Field Trip

On our field trip we took the bus to Winnipeg. We went to the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. We saw Mr. Mark and Manny the Tuba. The orchestra played some songs. One was Hockey Night in Canada, another was I Will Go The distance. We saw an acrobat on a huge ribbon moving to the music. We had a great time.

After lunch we went to the Manitoba Museum. We went on an Inuit tour and saw many tools, clothing, toys and animals that the Inuit had. In the classroom we got see and hold many Inuit things like a miniature kayak, a sealskin shovel and we got to drill a hole in soapstone with a bow drill. Later we got to tour a model ship called the Nonsuch. It was huge!
