In celebration of Winter Walk Day, a day in which Albertans are encouraged to walk outdoors for at least 15 minutes, Timberlea Public School will be taking part in a Whole School Walk. This walk will occur on Wednesday, February 4, 2015 beginning at 1:00 pm. We will complete a short route on Brett Drive and around Barber Drive and back to Timberlea School. This event is weather dependent. If temperatures drop below -20 degrees with the wind chill factored in, our walk will be cancelled and rescheduled. As an important part of our community, Timberlea School would like to invite you to join us in this celebration of winter physical activity and to walk with our school! See the email that went home today for more information.

Hi, um…did you put the sad poem on the website because I wanted to show it to my brother.Or atleast can you tell me what its called?
Sorry! I was in a hurry last night and you are right, I forgot to include a link to the video. The poem is called “To This Day” by Shane Koyczan and you can find the video below:

Ok thanks 😀
i dont get “These are the conclusions i obtained from my experiment” from the science fair logbook
If you need some help writing a conclusion, check out these examples on Science Buddies: http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_sample_conclusions.shtml
hi
Hey miss B are u able to tell me for the science logbook what the 3 hypothesis variables meanings are?
Great question! Below are the definitions of a manipulated, responding, and the constant (controlled) variables:
MANIPULATED VARIABLES: These are variables that you change on purpose in your experiment. It is what you are testing.
RESPONDING VARIABLES: These are the changes that happen in your experiment because of what you changed.
CONSTANT VARIABLES: These are the variables that are held constant or are assumed to stay the same during the experiment.
Need an example? Let’s use our seed germination experiment from last week. The manipulated variable would be the temperature. We wanted to change the temperature so that we could test how it effected seed germination. The responding variable would be how fast the seeds germinated. We changed the temperature, so some of the seeds should germinate quicker, some slower, etc. Finally, the constant variables are what we would keep the same, like the amount of soil, when and how much we water them, etc. Choosing which variables to control is important. You want to make sure that you limit what you change, so that you can control your results. For example, if we are not consistent in the amount we water each seed, then we won’t know if it was the temperature that had effected seed germination or the amount of water. I hope this helps!
k thanks 😀
one more thing and I think i’ve gone braindead. do we write a hypothesis first and then do the 3 variables?
and then put what we wrote in the areas they go in?
sorry if I don’t make sense
A hypothesis isn’t just an educated guess. It should be a tentative explanation for the phenomenon that you have observed, or the scientific problem that you are testing. I like to include a little of my research about my manipulated and responding variables in my hypothesis. Use the following outline as your starting point:
“If “I do this”, then “this” will happen.”
Here are two examples:
1. An ice cube will melt in less than 30 minutes.
2. If I place an ice cube in a room at sea level with a temperature of 20’C or 68’F, then it will melt in less than 30 minutes.
The second is a much stronger hypothesis. It demonstrates a clear relationship between your manipulated variable (the temperature of the room) and the responding variable (how fast the ice melts), and it includes the information from your research that explains why you think this will happen (room temperature at sea level).
Your hypothesis should be something that you can actually test; what’s called a testable hypothesis. In other words, you need to be able to measure both “what you do” and “what will happen”.

thx ill check out the website and hopefully not talk again about thus lol
😀
sorry its late but do we write the the normal hypothesis before the variables?
Write your hypothesis as per the previous recommendations, and then you can write about your variables in the spaces provided.
thanks 😀
thanks for the help 😀
if it is on a day what day is it?
actually nvm
hi dawson
actually nvm I found something for it
I found something for what I was going to say
sorry to waste ur time
sorry it always copys what I say after
Don’t apologize! I never mind multiple comments and I’m here to help. I’m glad you found a solution to your question… good problem solving!
