Is Snow Clean?

3 Things We Learned Today:
"In Inquiry we learned that tomorrow we are going to make a water filter out of items in the iLab. We learned that in some places in the world, like Bali, the water is dirty and not safe to drink."  H.B.
"In Gym our new game was called Hoarding Squirrels. We used a hockey stick to get a puck or beanbag out of the middle to our hula hoop." A.C.
"In our Kindness lesson we read a book called 'How to Loose Your Friends' and one of the ways is be a bully. We also had a goal by doing something kind for someone at Maple Ridge school or at home." K.O.

We were quite surprised to find out that the snow we collected that we thought was clean, actually had tiny pieces of dirt particles in it! Now we know why it's so important not to eat snow!
We also had a discussion around the fact that some people don't have access to clean water like we do in Canada. We now have the challenge of designing a water filter to hopefully create clean water that would be safe to drink and use!

Homework: I need to think about the materials I will use to build our water filter. The materials need to come from the iLab.

Reminders:
1. Fun snack tomorrow. It is Cobbs.
2. Thank you everyone for your willingness to volunteer. We are now full for our trips to the Glenbow Museum (February 27th) and Hull's Woods (March 10th).
3. Nose Hill/CPAWS field study on April 21st. Volunteers needed.
