Hi All,
We've made it through the long hard winter and spring is here. In the few days I've noticed that attention spans have shrunken as the days have lengthened, mine included. I'm working hard to make sure science stays as engaging as possible for the boys and girls.
In that vein, we have a tree planting coming up for students who didn't plant trees in the fall. The science piece of a multi-discipline project based on the eruption of Mount Vesuvius is on its way as well. 4th quarter means that we will be studying geology. We'll learn about tectonic plate theory, earthquakes, volcanoes, and a bunch of other things that shake and explode. Near the end of the term we'll dissect sharks, and learn what makes them some of the most efficient predators ever. It's shaping up to be an exciting quarter.
