5th grade's PicCollage

5th grade

Using PicCollage, the students create informative collages about Mollusks.They also explore the apps many enhancements to create fun and attractive collages. Science, Technology AND Art! Go Broncos! Super work 5th graders! Keep it up.

Look for some of them to be posted soon!

7th grade

The Big Squeeze

Our stomachs are a muscular pouch. Students simulate mechanical digestion.

8th grade

Balance and classifying equations!

5th grade checking out the results!

So the iodine MUST have gotten into the bag - it turned the cornstarch purple black. So the Baggie acted like a cell membrane, it let some molecules in (like the iodine) but no water molecules cause there wasn't any water in the sealed bag!

Jewel and Zhari work together to find the "nucleus" - a marble,

Kevin and Angelo start to open the bag....

Matt is always my brave soul. Dives right in and gets the "nucleus" out! 

Ale making observations.

Check out this table - everyone is working - observing, recording data - it's great. They are BEING AWESOME!

Thank you 5th grade for making a messy lab fun and clean up a breeze.

Please remember that the cell membrane controls what goes in and out of a cell!

And that iodine turns purple ism black in the presence of a starch.  On to more adventures....

6th grade sharing the Pic Collage

Utilizing the Pic Collage app, the students found pics of three different types of volcanoes and pyroclastic flow.

Here are a few of the results. Way to be both creative and informative!

 

4th grade

Learning about the properties of water. One of many properties is water's ability to dissolve most  substances.mwhich is why it is called, " the universal solvent". 

Students also learn what is a  mixture. 

6th grade

LoLearning about the gases in magma, students are simulating by building models and observing the effects of baking soda and vinegar with raisins. What happens?

Lots of bubbling, and raisins bouncing around...oh and mess and screams - but hey, it's science. And science is messy! Great job today 6th grade..let's see what happens Tuesday.

We can compare and contrast!

5th grade

Working on the cell still! Making models of the cell membrane. 

What will happen if we place a Baggie filled with cornstarch and Knox gelatin in an iodine solution?

Following instructions and being sure to label the containers. Good work Clark, Ciarra and Zachary.

Kevin and Ethan mix in the cornstarch with the gelatin!

Lorenzo is looking intently at the mixture!
