During this activity, we discovered that when you don’t work collaboratively, you can reach a “deadlock,” like rush hour traffic. “Deadlocks” are a big challenge in many computer networks so this gave us a taste of why designing networks is so important. To avoid these “deadlocks” we needed to work together. We loved the activity and can’t wait to do it again!
Learning to code without a computer may seem challenging, but it makes perfect sense when you think about the problem-solving and thinking involved. We got our first taste of coding uplugged with a challenge similar to “The Orange Game.” To play the game, everyone starts with two same-coloured blocks that get mixed up. Players hold out their hands with blocks and then need to work together to rearrange them. Players can only pass to the empty hand of the person sitting next to them. The end goal is to get those same blocks back.

Heat involves fast-moving particles and the faster these particles move, the more heat is produced. Bill Nye gave us a closer look with examples of how heat is transferred from one place to another through conduction, convection and radiation. We also saw convection with last week’s food colouring experiment. Division 7 is participating in the 2018 snow plow painting event! This involves us coming up with a design and then painting the snow removal blade. The snow plow was delivered this week…and we got to watch it lifted by a crane onto our school grounds. We had no idea that a snow plow blade weighs over 2000 pounds! Showing support for families & friends of Humboldt Broncos.
