First Grade’s Great Pumpkin Investigation

The first grade students conducted the 2nd Annual Great Pumpkin Investigation on Halloween! We had a great time making predictions about the height, weight, and buoyancy of our pumpkins along with how many lines and seeds we thought our pumpkins had. We were surprised to find that our pumpkins had anywhere from 400 to 750 seeds in them; way more than our estimates!

6th Grade Studies the Earth System

We are studying the Earth System and its Spheres.  We started the unit off with a Peachy Model.  We cut a peach in half.  The skin was the crust of Earth.  The flesh was the mantle.  The pit was the core.    Our lesson review was making a model using ice cream, red hots, & Heath Shell Chocolate.  The red hot was the core, ice cream was the mantle, & the crust was the Heath Shell.  We learned that science can be fun and delicious.
