In science class, we have been studying about WEATHER.  We learned about the 6 factors of weather:  temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind, clouds, and precipitation.  We were able to collect daily weather data from January and February 2021.  After we collected our data, we compared the morning weather data to the afternoon weather data.  Below […]

In science class, we are learning to use the microscope.  We practiced setting up the microscope and adjusting the slide correctly so that we can look at a specimen at 3 magnifications:  40x, 100x and 400x.  The slides are premade.  Later we will learn to make our own slides.   My partner and I chose […]

The Scientific Method In science, we were studying the scientific method and we learned how to write a lab report. Each student needed to design a candy experiment. You can see 2 example lab reports below. Students also shared their experiments with the class. Students created Google Slides about their candy experiments and gave speeches […]

How Blood Flows Through The Heart In class, we learned about the circulatory system and how blood flows through the heart.  The heart needs to take blood from the body to the lungs so that the blood can get oxygen.  The blood travels through our body delivering oxygen and nutrients to all of our cells […]

Respiratory System In science class, we learned about the respiratory system  The respiratory system is important because it gets oxygen to our blood and it also takes out the carbon dioxide from our blood when we exhale.  This is the pathway of air as it enters our respiratory system:  When we inhale, air enters through […]

In science class, we were learning about weather. Each student researched about different forms of Extreme Weather. Below you can see Vivian’s report about Monsoons.

First Science Presentations of the Year Recently, the sixth-grade students presented an experiment that they designed. Each student designed and conducted his/her own candy experiment.  They each wrote a lab report about the experiment and then presented their plan and analysis to the class.  They did a GREAT JOB!   Rose Carolyn Duncan   Paul […]

Since the 6th graders had a bit of time last week as they were starting to conduct their own science investigations, we took the time to create scientific method posters.  They will be able to post these in their KAS Share websites, but for now, I will share three different examples from Carolyn, Christopher, and […]
