While helping Carson today, I told him I'd permit his question about "WORMS" so long as it was monitored in class. No harm to worms, etc. It is afterall origional & Creative. :-)



  • If you would also like to work on your science experiment at school, bring in your stuff! Let's work together! Sooner the better!!!
  • If you do not have what you need, let me know. I may have it or someone else might too. Just ask/write it down in your science notebook!

Don't let the "AND MAN" run away with your paper!

What's the most cost efficient way.....

To fill these two containers with Legos? In order to continue our physics focus in science, Mrs Cordell and I thought we'd purchase class sets of Legos to build/test /experiment with, but they're costly. Bigger container filled with Legos costs around $15, smaller container is about $7. So, what do YOU think? How would YOU fill them?

What do you notice?

Why are the containers designed like this?

Legos

Notice.

Happy Monday!

What a great Friday!

What a great group of students! Busy, busy, week coming back from holiday break.

Science projects off and running starting Monday. Woo hoo! Remember, I am happy to help along the way. If you'd like, we can do your experiment in class. You may have to bring the stuff you need or ask others if they have it. Helping each other with our ideas/projects is a great way to understand/learn the scientific process.

The tough part is NOW. Thinking up creative & original ideas can seem very intimidating at first. Once we have our ideas, questions will come, and the rest will be easy. We will have a lot of fun! I promise. :-)

Comment below if you'd like assistance this weekend with your project. Post an idea/topic/question below, and I'll reply back. Have a great weekend!

Keenen-Intersting idea using thermite while baking. Um, looks kind of dangerous...Perhaps we could wait  until highschool chemistry? :-)
