7th Grade Science

Our students are involved in a project that teaches them science and engineering play a critical role in important issues, such as environmental protection. The picture shows the students trying several methods to clean up a simulated oil-spill, and then comparing the results by considering criteria such as effectiveness, cost, and waste disposal. Afterwards, they identified some of the problems they might encounter when taking their technique from a pie pan to the ocean, and suggested new technology to improve the process for the future.

Ecosystem Project

After learning about food webs and ecosystems, students worked in groups to create a Discovery board, like an interactive poster, to select and post pictures that represented producers, first level and second level consumers in an ecosystem.  Students used various features to label pictures and to create their unique presentations.

Word Walls, Symbaloo, and Space...OH MY!

If there is one subject that I would say nearly every student loves, it is Space.  In the last unit for the year, students will utilize a Space Webmix via Symabloo to gather research on the Celestial Objects.

Up next: Comets, Meteors, and Gravity.  

8th Grade Science - Rubber Band Cars

This week students have been creating rubber band cars (Zoom Machines).  This activity challenges the students to not only be creative, but to persevere through even when the car is not working properly and needs adjustments.  Stored up potential energy in the rubber band is being changed into kinetic energy to power the car a minimum of 3.1 meters.  Final car trials begin next week!

 

Algebra

Our Algebra students are gearing up for their EOC with this puzzle.  Students rotated each piece to match a formula or equation to its description using their reference material.  Only some of the formulas and equations are listed on their chart.  This was a great activity for students to not only review, but to relax and have light conversation with their groups while listening to music.
