Welcome to 6th Grade

A Timeline of Time

8th grade is discussing how species can change over time. We created a timeline showing the emergence of different organisms on Earth. This visual aid really helped us visualize just how long the history of life on Earth really is! 


    How Fast Can it Fizz?

    6th grade explored some areas of weathering and erosion with this experiment.

      Modeling the Rock Cycle 

      6th grade continues our unit on rocks, this time focusing on how one rock turns into another. We got to build shapes using one color of rocks, meant to represent a specific type of rock. We then modeled Earths destructive forces and “eroded” our rock, only to rebuild a completely new rock using “grains” from other rocks.

      6th grade Rocks!

      The sixth grade is exploring the formation of igneous rocks using wax! We dripped wax into hot water and cold water and compared the shapes made by the cooled wax. We then made comparisons between the way the wax cooled and the way mineral crystals cool in different igneous rocks.

      8th grade makes a Bloop…

      The 8th graders tried their hand at interpreting genetic code this week! They were given sets of parent alleles for mythical creatures called “Bloops”, and interpreted the allele pairs to determine the traits for their Bloop. Now we have some new class pets!

      Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

      Merry Christmas!!

      6th grade spent the day playing some fun games, watching a Christmas movie, and drinking some hot chocolate! Have a wonderful break, and we’ll be back in the new year!

      Exploring measurement in science

       The 6th grade kicked off their unit on measurement by exploring some nonstandard units of measurement, leading to a discussion about why a standard system is so necessary! 

      8th Grade in Motion

      The 8th grade has been hard at work exploring all facets of motion -

        The 7th graders got into the Mendeleevian groove this week as we explored the organization of the periodic table of the elements!
