The Fabulous 4th Grade!!

Everything is new and we are taking a very step by step approach. They are doing fabulously. I am thoroughly enjoying my time with them. Step by step so we can build up to more complicated labs. Learning to work in a lab and with each other is a huge learning curve!

8th grade

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion in a game! Students made up a game using corks and a catapult and their imaginations....Class of 2014 working their magic! Love it.

F=MxA A =F/M

Now demonstrate it!

Something to think about...

8th grade

Lots and lots of physics principles being studied and experiments/labs are in full swing.

This lab tested Newton's First and Third Laws of Motion.

4th grade - checking out a bird aviary webcam

The students made observations looking at the bird aviary webcam at www.montereybayaquarium.org

5th grade

Making parallel and series circuits - is it an open or closed circuit? And what does that mean exactly?

6th grade SOIL LAB in the field

So....how to make soil interesting? Well, we went out into the school area and took soil samples from all around. The students checked air and soil temperature, looked for any living creatures and soil horizons. Inside the lab, the students checked soil pH and identified soil type using a flow chart and testing texture, color and saturation. And plus it was fun to get OUTSIDE! :)

Checking the soil temperature.

Thanks again 6th grade for allowing me the freedom to try something new with you and doing a great job learning about soil.
