Today, our Science Lab turned into a taste-testing adventure! The boys wore their masks as blindfolds — no peeking allowed — and bravely sampled mystery foods. Using only their super taste buds, they guessed the food, wrote it down, and drew a picture of what they imagined they had eaten.

At the end, the teacher revealed each mystery food, sparkling smiles, surprises, and a few proud “I knew it!” moments.

This was a fun (and tasty!) way to learn about the amazing sense of taste! 🍓🍋🍫

Grade 4 students at BCC have been learning about plant parts and what they do. As part of the unit, they went outside to explore the school campus and look at different leaves and plants.

They wrote down what they saw—like the shape, size, and color of leaves—and talked about how each part of a plant helps it grow and stay healthy.

It was a fun way to learn science by seeing real plants up close!

As part of our Grade 5 science program, students explored the fascinating process of photosynthesis — how plants make their own food using sunlight!

Using a simple experiment with a leaf, dish soap, baking soda, and sunlight, students observed how plants absorb light and release oxygen. This hands-on activity brought textbook science to life and helped students see biology in action.

🔍 What We Learned:

• 🌞 Sunlight powers photosynthesis
• 💧🌬️ Carbon dioxide and water are used to make food
• 🌬️ Oxygen is released as a byproduct

This activity was not only educational — it was fun and full of discovery! It sparked curiosity about the natural world and encouraged students to think critically about how living things interact with their environment.

Experiencing science firsthand helps students build a deeper understanding of the processes that shape life on Earth.

Stay tuned for more exciting experiments and discoveries from our science lab!

This week in Science, our Grade 3/7 students took a closer look at their teeth! ?

We learned all about:

• The difference between adult and child teeth
• The shapes and sizes of different teeth
• The names and functions of each type of tooth (incisors, canines, molars, and premolars)

Students had a hands-on experience using mirrors to examine their own teeth and identify which ones are still growing in or missing. We also explored a model of the human mouth to better understand tooth placement and structure.
