Cultural Studies

Hi students! We’ve learned about some fabulous, interesting

countries this year in Cultural Studies. Now you have the

opportunity to choose your own country to study. I’m looking

forward to hearing which country you chose and what

wonderful facts you’ve learned about it!

You’ll also have a chance to review what we’ve learned about

a particular country this year. Don’t forget to pray for the

people of that country to know and follow Jesus!

I’m praying for you!

Love,

Mrs. Blanton

Day 2Day 2Day 2Day 2 1. With parental supervision, look on the internet to

find a country that is interesting to you. 2. Write down the name of the country and six facts

about the country on a piece of paper. 3. Tip: one website to check is National Geographic

Kids a. go to https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/ b. type in “Countries” in the search bar and choose a country from the results

c. (information may also come from other websites-when going to your browser to search, typing in a country’s name and “Fast Facts for Kids” usually brings up good results)

4. Pray for the people of the country you chose to know and follow Jesus.

Science Lab

Hi students! I know you enjoy doing STEM projects in

class and now you have the opportunity to do some at

home. I can’t wait to see and hear about your creations.

They’re going to be great!

Have fun with these and be creative...you can do it!

Day 1 Day 1 Day 1 Day 1 You are going to complete a STEM project at home! Your challenge is to design and engineer a tall tower. To build your tower:

1. Gather non-breakable materials from around your house (like toys, plastic containers, paper, etc.). Make sure your parents approve of the materials you are using!

2. Think about how you can use the materials to build a tall tower that will stand on its own. Draw out a plan if you’d like.

3. Build your tower. Remember you may have to make adjustments as you are building to get it to work. Good engineers try, try, and try again until they succeed!

4. The tower should go no higher than what you can reach on your tiptoes. 5. Once your tower is complete, either:

a. on a piece of paper write your name, the materials you used, and approximately how tall your tower is (you can measure with a ruler or say something like “as tall as my shoulder”) OR

b. take a picture and email it to me at ablanton@fbns.org 6. Have fun and don’t forget to put away all your materials!

Answers to possible questions:

1. The tower does not have to be a particular height, just “tall”. 2. The tower needs to stand for at least 3 seconds on its own without falling. 3. Siblings may work together…remember to respect your partner and work

together well!

Day Day Day Day 2222 You are going to complete another STEM project at home! Your challenge is to design and engineer a model of a house. It can be any type of house you want to build! To build your house:

1. Gather non-breakable materials from around your house (like toys, plastic containers, paper, etc.). Make sure your parents approve of the materials you are using!

2. Think about how you can use the materials to build a model of a house. Draw out a plan if you’d like.

3. Build your house. Remember you may have to make adjustments as you are building to get it to work. Good engineers don’t give up!

4. The model of your house may be super simple or very detailed. 5. Once your house is complete, either:

a. on a piece of paper write your name, the materials you used, and a description of your house OR

b. take a picture and email it to me at ablanton@fbns.org 6. Have fun and don’t forget to put away all your materials!

Answers to possible questions:

1. It’s ok if the model doesn’t look like a regular house you would see on your street. You’re building any type of house you want so be creative!

2. There is no size or shape requirement. 3. Siblings may work together…remember to respect your partner and work

together well!
