Welcome back to Teaching Tuesdays! Great work to everyone who completed last week’s activities! This week, we are honouring our 20-year-old graduating players who unfortunately had their last season of Junior Hockey cut short. They wore the Clipper jersey with pride and passion and continued to be leaders on and off the ice.

These activities are designed for students in Grades 1-7. We recognize that not every child will be able to complete all of the activities and that’s okay.

We worked hard to include creative ways you can help your child develop their language arts, math, science, and art skills. We hope you and your child enjoy going through these workbooks over the next few months.

We are not educational professionals, these activities should not replace course materials you may receive from your child’s teacher(s) but are meant to provide additional material and entertainment for your child.

Once you complete an activity, please email it to tali@nanaimoclippers.com to be entered to win various prizes!

Printing Practice! Trace the letters to learn the names of the 20-year-old graduating Nanaimo Clippers!

Word Shapes Print the words from the word bank into the empty boxes. The shape of the word must

Unit Conversions Convert the given measurements to new units. Perform other operations as needed. Show your work.

1.) A hockey ice rink is 61 m long. During practice, the coach tells Josh Bourne and Travis Walton to skate the length of the rink 23 times. How many km did they skate?

2.) During a game, Devon Mussio skates 4 m to block an opponent’s pass. How many cm did he skate?

Don’t Melt the Ice Science Experiment!

An ice rink is one of the most important parts of playing ice hockey. It is a large body of

water (sometimes mixed with chemicals) that remains frozen through one of two ways.

The first is natural cooling, where freezing occurs due to the surrounding temperatures

such as when a lake freezes over in winter. The second is artificial cooling, where a

mechanical system below the ice uses a coolant to produce low temperatures in order

to freeze the water. What type of cooling would the ice rink in Frank Crane Arena that

the Nanaimo Clippers play on use? If you said artificial cooling, you would be correct! It

is very important to ensure the ice stays frozen during a hockey game, and artificially

cooled rinks make it possible to play ice hockey any time of the year in any climate!

What a common artificial cooling system looks like under an ice rink.

What type of cooling do you use when you fill an ice cube tray with water and put it in

the freezer? While different than the cooling system in an ice rink, a freezer is a form of

artificial cooling right in your kitchen! It functions like a natural cooling system by

creating a very cold environment within the freezer, freezing anything in placed it. For

this experiment, we will be using the scientific method to learn about insulation, and

what material works best to create a natural cooling system and prevent an ice cube

from melting quickly.

Materials Needed: Ice cubes, food storage containers or jars of roughly

the same size with lids, insulation materials (i.e. bubble wrap, styrofoam,

craft felt, fabric, packing peanuts, cotton balls, wood shavings, etc.), and a

stopwatch.

Problem: Which Material provides the best insulation to prevent ice from

melting?

Hypothesis (What do you think will happen? Which material will work

best?):

____________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________

Procedure: Create an insulated container for an ice cube. The sheet to record your answers attached has space for 3 materials, but you are welcome to do more and record separately. Fill containers with an insulating material and place one ice cube in each. Create a control test by placing an ice cube without any insulation in a container. Try to use ice cubes that are all the same size and containers that are all the same size to create a consistent experiment. If you do not have multiple containers of the same size, you can repeat the experiment multiple times using one insulation material at a time.

Put the lids on the containers and place them indoors in a spot without direct sunlight or other heat sources that may affect the experiment. Check on the ice cubes every 10 minutes and record how much they have melted. Be careful not to handle your ice cubes too much or check on them too often. That will speed up the melting process.

Parents/ Supervisors: Discuss how heat is transferred from one object to another. Heat energy can be lost or transferred through conduction (one object touching another), convection (groups of molecules moving, such as a warm current of air rising), or radiation (electromagnetic waves). Discuss what materials conduct heat and which materials do not. Styrofoam is a good insulator because it is mostly air, which does not conduct heat as well as metal, for example.

Fill in the Blanks On January 29, 2020, the Nanaimo Clippers geared up for a rare non-divisional

______________ with a goal at 8:29, _____________ by #61 Steven Agriogianis

and #19 Josh Bourne.

than 30 seconds left in the game, Clipper #10 Robby Drazner sped down the

____ with the puck skating in deep behind the Warriors’ net. As he came around
