Science Projects

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah!

I hope all of you had a very peaceful weekend!

Students in the Faraasha class have started doing Science Projects. These projects are to help them get better acquainted with the annual Science Fair competition at IQRA, and also to heighten their curiosity about things around them through inquiry.

The first experiment was intitled:

Do cut flowers live longer in salt water or in sugar water?

The whole class, except Ndatte Ndaw, thought that the salt water would make the cut flowers live longer. Why did they think this? They will have to explain it in their project reports, because they were all proved wrong!

The experiment was done in class in pairs. The flowers were kept on the balcony. The students were asked to observe their flowers and record their observations each day for 10 days.

The students need to give me the report of this Science project in poster form inshaAllah this week. I made a poster of the report, and they can understand, and follow how it should be done, by looking at it, and at the individual notes that they made.  They have also other lab experiment reports in their note books.

Students will have a science project to do every month inshaAllah.

Art Projects

A big takbir to Ndeye Maguette, Aminata Charlotte and Abdoulaye Fall. They made the best mini flower vases in Art last week! The art work was judged by Ustadh Ahmed, and mashaAllah, they were all very pretty!

We are doing Concentric Circle Patterns this week. 

Art work is usually left on display in the class or in the hallways. Visitors to the school greatly admire the work that the students are doing. The students also take great pride in their work. I will be returning Art work inshaAllah on December 20, the last day of school before the break.

Have a great week!
