 * A. Electricity & Magnetism

B. Mechanisms Using Electricity || **//ELECTRIFYING CONNECTIONS//** || You have been contracted to design and create an electronic game board for a new TV quiz show, **//Electrifying Connections//**. The producer would like you to make a circuit board that will light up when the contestants give the correct answers. The left side of the board should have 10 questions and the right side should have the answers in random order. The producer (your teacher) will give you the topic for your questions. The contestants (fellow students) will touch one wire lead to the question and another wire lead to their answer. If the answer is correct, the bulb will light up! || || Ducks Unlimited would like to make the public more aware of the value of the wetlands. They are launching an ambitious advertising campaign across the province and are asking grade five students in Alberta to help them with this campaign. They want students to share their knowledge of the value of wetland areas with their fellow Albertans . || ||
 * C. Classroom Chemistry || **//SURVIVAL REWARD CHALLENGE//** || Your group is one of the tribes on a popular survival game show. In the reward challenge activity, your challenge is to separate a mixture of paper clips, salt, split peas and wood chips. Your host (your teacher) has dumped this mixture on the sand in front of you. If your group can successfully separate the mixture, you may keep the salt and split peas to create a pot of soup, the wood chips for kindling and the paper clips to use as fishing hooks. || [[file:survivalreward.doc]] ||
 * D. Weather Watch || **//WHERE IN THE WORLD DO YOU WANT TO LIVE?//** || Have you ever thought about living somewhere other than Innisfail, Alberta? In this assignment, you are to research a city or a town that you would consider living in. Your job is to explain why you would like to live there by researching the weather in that area. || [[file:Where in the world Project Outline.doc]] ||
 * E. Wetland Ecosystems || **//SAVE THE WETLANDS!//** ||  Ducks Unlimited needs your help! As our communities continue to grow, more land is needed for homes and businesses. Sometimes this development damages or even destroys the wetland areas. For example, the city of St. Albert is planning to build a road that will go over Big Lake, a well-known wetland. The city of Calgary would like to build 400 houses over another wetland south of the city.
