Welcome to 6th Grade

Exploring the Periodic Table

The 7th grade kicked off the school year with a brief review of some “elemental” vocabulary, using cubes to show their understanding of atoms, elements, molecules, and compounds. From there, we began to explore the placement of elements on the periodic table, and the patterns we are able to see from their organization.

    Welcome Back

    I am so excited to welcome our upcoming 6th graders to the upper hall! It's bound to be a year full of growth and new experiences! Students can expect to take an active role in their own learning, with plenty of opportunities for investigation, inquiry, and reflection. 
    I can't wait to see everyone on Sunday's walkthrough, or bright and early Monday morning!


    Building a seismometer 

    The 8th grade rounded out a chapter on earthquakes by building their very own seismometer! Their device had to fit around our patent-pending “wobbler”, and record waves of different magnitudes.

        Exploring Heat Transfer with the 7th-Graders

        The 7th grade spent some time becoming more familiar with the three methods of heat transfer - conduction, convection, and radiation. And what better way to talk about transferring heat than through heating up snacks?! They circulated through several stations attempting to heat marshmallows using each of the three methods.
