Aquarium Challenge
Last week our class visited the Kenting Aquarium. We broke up into groups and tried to find answers to “The Aquarium Challenge.” Our class was able to work well together and we learned a lot by visiting the aquarium. After the trip was over, we took our answers to “The Aquarium Challenge” and created a […]
Earth Day
It’s only a matter of time before we deplete our seas of fish from overfishing; or kill all the sharks because of shark finning; or destroy all of our coral reefs because of climate change. Now we have more small pieces of plastics floating in the ocean than we do plankton. The oceans provide us […]
The Great Kapok Tree
Students are preparing for their Reader’s Theater skit about The Great Kapok Tree – relative to Earth Day and our science unit about Living Systems (and human impact on these systems). They will perform this skit at the elementary assembly on March 24 at 10:00am
Living Systems
During our next unit in Science we will learn about living systems. Students will investigate about different water ecosystems and how humans have impacted the balance of life. It is plain and simple; our fresh water resources and ocean resources are critically in need of attention . How can we help? This article is about […]
A Documentary Called Black Fish
In class, we watched a documentary called Black Fish. It is a story about a whale named Tilikum who has been living in captivity for the majority of his life. He was kidnapped when he was a baby and then trained to be a show marine mammal in places like Sea World. I learned that […]
Elementary Science Fair 2017
Once again, our students made me so proud! All grades Pre-K through Grade 5 shared their projects. So much learning going on at KAS!
Bridge Project
In science class we did an experiment to see which type of bridge would be the strongest design. Read Maggie’s report to see what happened: This is a movie I made about creating a bridge and you can even see the competition. We found out that Clare’s bridge was the strongest. She used the Howe […]
Bridge Building Competition
I am so proud of my 5th grade students. Each student created their own bridge out of balsa wood to meet expectations. They did a great job! Here is a short video that displays the process of finding out which bridge is the strongest:
Space Tours Brochure
In science, we were studying space. So we did an integrated project with writing and IT and made a brochure about a space tours company. Students got to make up their own company names and space tours itinerary; however, they also had to provide true facts. You can see an example brochure below made by […]
