Today, we played an online game on simple machines. I found most of them very easy but some of the questions were difficult too. It helped us to revise all the simple machines we have learnt so far. We also gave finishing touches to our presentations on different sources, forms and types of energy. We watched some of the presentations by our class mates. We also understood the structure of an atom. The inner part of an atom is known as nucleus. It is made up of neutrons and protons. The orbit around the nucleus has something called electron. We continued with sharing information about different sources, forms and types of energy through our presentations and gained a lot of new knowledge. We self assessed our understanding on PYP elements and the unit through an interesting activity called, Mountain, Jungle and River. All students who were confident of their knowledge and understanding about these had to stand in the mountain area, those who were some what sure, in the jungle area and those who were not sure of their understanding had to stand in the river area. While some stood in the mountain area, some stood in the jungle area but nobody stood in the river. Then those who were in the mountain area answered questions put up the people in jungle area, clarified their doubts and helped them move to the mountain. We were also introduced to the summative task which required us to choose a problem scenario, design and make the model of a machine to solve that problem.
