6th grade     EARTH SCIENCE
 

         WE HAVE JUST COMPLETED OUR STUDY OF THE "REASONS FOR THE SEASONS'. We graphed sunlight ours around the world,  and we figured out that our lines on our graph in all places on earth met in one place - the 12 hour sunlight grid... and then we graphed temperatures around the world. Solstice is all about extremes and Equinox is all about equal and even light, temperature and tilt.

We are beginning a new book about the changing earth, how did scientists discover and try to prove tectonic theory, how did volcanoes help create a beautiful vacation spot- Hawaii? Why does Japan have tsunamis? Did you know our earth spews out new land all the time and eats it up too?gosh, who knew the ground below us is "alive"!!

SCIENCE IS COOL

 

7th grade LIFE SCIENCE
We are just beginning our second book: Human Biology. We will begin with Mr. BONES!!! .. We will start with trying to put together a complete bone skeleton from the vomit of an owl- yes you heard it- we will break open an owl pellet and check out some teeny teeny bones of prey. How is a joint like a door hinge? Did you know that the Eiffel tower was designed with out human skeleton? We will check out the two muscle actions: contract and relax...and then follow a red  blood cell around the body- touring through the heart and lungs- actually witnessing the power of OXYGEN ... Now I know why not to be a couch potato...and get out there a nd play some sports.

8th grade news

 

8th grade

  We are beginning our second book on the structure of the ATOM! It is all making so much sense to me now: electrons.. electricity... static charge... magnetism....motors... wow Maybe I wll become an engineer... the possibilities are endless with a little science.

We will construct a model of an atom.. out of buttons, beads, styrofoam, paperclips, pipecleaners, and hang them from our ceiling.....by the way- our ceiling is actually a very large periodic table.. each ceiling tile is a different element. We will discover that the periodic table has a most elemental design. Science makes sense, very organized, very simple explanations of the secret of life.

Stay tuned for Rube Goldberg and simple machines.
