Be Healthy!
|
Our focus this quarter is on health. This week we are learning about the importance of hand washing. We have been watching videos, reading books, and practicing good hand washing. Students are currently working on posters about hand washing and conducting science experiments. In the first experiment, black pepper represented germs, and they were chased away when soap was added. In the second experiment, students bagged bread and apple pieces that were touched and untouched. We will observe and compare them for growth of germs/bacteria.

Thank You Castaneda Family!

Thank you to Alberto and his family for donating face shields to the classroom. Each student now as their own face mask and they enjoy wearing them. We look like scientists, welders, and astronauts.

Penny & Bean Boats
|
Students designed boats out of foil. They estimated how many pennies or beans they could float in their boats. Boats were tested, redesigned and tried again. We were quite surprised how many beans and pennies we could float. We had fun!
