Reading
and Writing Assignment #8: Mind Maps
This week we
are combining Reading and Writing into one assignment you can work on. In addition, if you would like, you can
continue to work on Lexia or find some stories on Get Epic to read! It’s always good to try to read for at least
20 minutes per day.
What is a Mind Map?
A mind map
is a fast and fun way to organize your thoughts and ideas. Mind maps are graphic organizers that use
words, phrases, and images to organize ideas.
The main idea is placed in the centre of the mind map, and then related
ideas are added to it. Mind maps are
used to organize information to gain a better understanding.
How to Mind Map:
1. Begin with your main idea. This goes in the middle of your page. (try
using a blank page)
2.
Add
branches to this main idea that include additional information.
3.
Explore
your topic by adding more branches with related words and/or phrases.
4. Add images and colours.

GRADE 5 SCIENCE: Earthquake Structure
This week we are going to make structures that have to withstand an earthquake. Now I know that not everyone has the materials in the video so it is totally ok to improvise. Please start by watching the video.
Here is the criteria for your structure.
- Use toothpicks and marshmallows to create you
tower (alternative: straws, spaghetti,
popsicle sticks, sticks, Q-tips, plasticine, playdough, or anything else you
have at home)
- Create a tower that is 20 – 30 cm high
- place the tower in a tray of Jello (alternative:
sand, dirt, or anything else you have at home)
- Shake the tray for 30 seconds and see if your tower
falls over. If it does make
modifications to your structure and try again
Send me pictures or videos of your structure so I
can take a look!
Answer
the questions below:
- How tall was your structure?
- Was it able to stand for the 30 seconds? If it did explain why. If it didn’t explain why.
- If you had a chance to do this project again, what would you have done differently?
