This week Rang 4 learnt about China, South Korea and the ESB Science Blast. We had to come
up with an experiment for the ESB Science Blast this year. There were a lot of suggestions like:
Why is the ocean salty?, Did the chicken or the egg come first?, Do video games cause
violence?, What fruits or vegetables
produce the most electricity?, and
What type of soy sauce melts ice
cream the fastest? After a lot of
consideration and advertisement, the
class voted in favor of the fruit battery.
We learned loads of new facts about
Korea and China, since they both
celebrate the same New Years
celebration. We learned about both of
their written languages. Mainly, we
learned that the Chinese language
does not have an alphabet, but uses
different symbols as words.
Then we learned some Korean letters and words and we learned how to write our names in
Korean.
