Welcome to 6th Grade

Exploring Living Cells

6th grade is exploring Cell Theory! We looked at slices of cork (Robert Hooke, anyone?) and then even prepared our own slides of pond water to see living cells.

7th grade is diving into the chemistry of bread

7th grade is diving into the chemistry of bread! First up - exploring the physical and chemical properties of some basic bread ingredients and a simple dough.

8th Science

8th grade got up and moving during our last two Flex Days! To give distance-time graphs a more personal touch, we headed to the gym to walk (or run) it out! The students then timed each other crossing a set distance, then worked together to calculate and graph their movement.

The Periodic Table

In order to get an idea of why scientists felt the need to organize the elements into a table, the 7th grade tried their hand at finding some specific pieces of paper. Lo and behold, it was much easier to find what we were looking for when there was some rhyme or reason to how they were arranged!
