Science:

Goal of the Lesson: SLE11: Recognize that light can be broke into colours and that different
colours of light can be combined to form a new colour.
Guiding Question: Can we spin colours fast enough that we produce white.
Introduction: Discuss what we learned yesterday about how light can be broken into seven
different colours. These are the seven colours of the rainbow RED, ORANGE, YELLOW,
GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO, and VIOLET. Make sure to go over things such as Opaque,
Transparent, Translucent etc. we will be having a test next week.
Activity 1: Make sure each student has all of the materials that they will need for this
experiment. Students will need a circular manila tag, a short pencil, a ruler, and pencil crayons
with the rainbows colours.
Activity 2: Steps for the experiment. Be sure to write these on the board before the students get
started on the experiment. 1.) Students will colour their disks the seven colours of the rainbow.
Make sure that the students have divided the circle before starting to colour it. 2.) Make a hole in
the middle of the disk with your pencil. 3.) Spin the disk quickly. 4.) Discuss what you saw with
the class.
Conclusion: Pack up the materials and have the students put away their sheet. Have the students
have a discussion about what they discovered during the experiment. What did you discover?
Why does this happen?
Assessment: Formative assessment will be used during this lesson. No sheets will be handed out
in this lesson. Discussion will be used for assessment and evaluation.

Social:
Goal of the lesson: 4.1.1 value Albertas physical geography and natural environment
Guiding Question: How are communities such as Edmonton linked to natural resources.
Introduction: Introduce the students to Edmonton and its link to agriculture. Ask the students
why agriculture/ farming are important for any society. Talk about how thousands of years ago
nomads could scavenge and hunt by permanent residence requires farming. Also note that the
North Saskatchewan River is important for Edmontons growth and development.

Activity 1: Go over Edmontons history rather quickly through a Power Point showing its stages.
1.) Before Settlement
2.) 1795: Fort Edmonton.
3.) 1897: Population of Edmonton greatly increases.
4.) 1902: Railway Arrives in Edmonton
5.) 1905: Edmonton becomes the capital of Alberta
6.) 1917: Oil is found in Leduc.
Activity 2: Emphasize how agriculture is linked to Edmonton and how oil and gas is linked to
Alberta. Natural resources go a long way to shaping the communities near them. Work through
the Power Point while discussing this.
Conclusion: Give the students some resources and ask them what kind of settlements would
sprout up near that resource. Ex.) Water = fishing, trading, naval power. Great soil =
agriculture/ranching. Forestry = wooden towns, resource trading etc.
Assessment: Formative assessment will be used in this lesson as no sheets will be handed out.
Although the lesson is a Power Point students should still guide the lesson.
Gym:
Goal of Lesson: Students will put together all that they have learned and play a practice game.
Introduction: Students will be brought to the carpet area and make a circle to go over the skills
that they have learned as well as to relay instructions. When the students understand this they
will walk to the gym and run four laps.
Activity 1: Students will get into groups of 4-5 and bounce a real volleyball between each other.
Do this until there is about 10 minutes left in the class.
Activity 2: Students will split off into two teams. Each team will have 10-11 people. There will
be 6 players on the court at a time for each team. Switch people on and off every minutes. Try to
keep the game running smoothly.
Conclusion: Students will line up at the door and wait to be told to leave. After the balls are put
away let the students leave and go home.
Assessment: Formative assessment will be used. Watch for student involvement and in Activity
