Where we have been and where we are headed...

Last week...

We investigated how to solve problems using a scientific thought process "Scientific Method". Students worked as architects in order to rebuild a space craft shuttle launch tower for NASA (using only spaghetti noodles and spice drops)

We learned how to determine if objects were living or nonliving based on the Characteristics of Life and learned the functions of the Compound Light Microscope. 

This week...

Students will discover the significance of cells and how they help keep organisms living. How the cell parts work together. We will explain why perfume moves slowly through the air and slowly but surely everyone can smell it in a room. We will begin our semester long Web Design Contest that will yield a Breakfast and Pizza for the ENTIRE class (based on contest rules) and finally Create a multimedia Cell's Metaphor Children's Book.
Stay tuned...
