As you know, I LOVE this type of video! If there is one factory I'd like to work in, it would be this one, I'd come home so colourful everyday!

Thinking About WHERE?
Hello boys and girls,
As you know, each of you will be selecting an ordinary product to research and figuring out where it comes from.
It's time to start thinking about what "stuff" you'd like to learn about.
If you get some time in the Lab today (Thursday, December 13th), you can do a little research in here. If not, you'll be working on this in the classroom and we'll head up to the Lab another time.
You will create and fill out a triple t-chart in your green Science duo-tang. Below are the categories and some examples.
My ideas for “stuff”/products to research: (list at least five of your own ideas)
examples:
-crayons
-toilet paper
-toothpaste
How Bill Nye shares his information in an interesting way: (add at least four of your own ideas)
examples:
-interviewing people on the street with compelling questions (what do orangutans and toothpaste have in common?)
-speaking enthusiastically
How I think I could possibly share my information for the “Where Challenge”: (add at least five of your own ideas)
examples:
-write a rap
-make a Bill Nye style video
Together, we'll talk about great, juicy questions to help our research. For now, just get your creative wheels turning!
When you finish filling out your chart, please put it in the Hand-In box.
Then, you may visit How It's Made and check out some inspiration!

Where Challenge
Hello Room 209 Scientists,
Based on our favourite Scientist, Bill Nye, and his "Stuff Happens" series I have devised an exciting Science project for you to work on. We spoke very briefly about this in class, but here is a little more info about the Where Challenge to get your mind working....
Earth Sciences Canada challenges kids all over the country to ask the simple question - Where?
What makes your stuff? WHERE does it come from? Think about the things you use everyday, they don't just appear out of nowhere, although it might seem like that sometimes! Everything that we use, from toilet paper to pencils to computer mice to our chairs, use minerals, energy and resources to create!
Your mission for this project is to select an item that you haven't really thought about before, but use regularly and then ask WHERE?
We'll talk a lot more in class about the expectations, but for now, get thinking!
Here are some links to inspire you:

How It's Made
We are going to do the WHERE Challenge as a class project, and when our projects are completed, with your parents' permission you MAY send in your project to enter officially.
Molly and I LOVE the How It's Made crayons video, check it out!
