Measuring Jug For Next Week

Please ask your parents if they have a measuring jug, preferably plastic, for us to borrow next week. I would prefer to do the experiment outside so we will have to wait for a day when it doesn't rain. For this reason, the jug might need to be left in the room for a few days or you would need to bring it in and take it home every day until we do the experiment until we are able to do the experiment.

Size: It is best if the jug is big enough to fit your fist in. I can't explain more than that because the purpose of the activity requires you working something out with your team.

Stopwatch: We will also need to time the activity, so please be sure to bring a stopwatch or your watch (if it has a stopwatch on it) if you have one.

Countdown to the end of Grade 5

Sara Jane Moore - The Woman Who Tried To Assassinate Gerald R. Ford

Thank you, Bronte for finding and sharing this.

I stand corrected on a number of points. Although I was right about Sara Jane Moore still being alive, I was very wrong about two things. Firstly, she was released from prison in 2007 and, more importantly, her gun did work. Ford survived because she missed him. I am not sure why I thought that her gun did not work properly. Watch the very interesting video below to find out more.
