Science

Main Idea:  How is the Scientific Method used to solve problems?

Students are working on the scientific method.  They will build bottle rockets by researching, formulating a hypothesis, experimenting, collecting data, analyzing their findings and coming up with a conclusion!  Keep an eye out for pictures of the rocket launches!

Cells

Students will be studying the cell theory, the components of cells and how cells move.
We will be using the following websites to guide our study of cells:

Students have spent the last week researching, creating and presenting over cells.  More specifically they learned about the cell theory, what cells are made up of and how they move.  Here are a couple of presentations.
