Sixth grade is studying plate tectonics and this week we made a model of one of the 5 physical layers of the Earth. It is a solid but acts as a liquid…it is our asthenosphere and in lab we made oobleck to help us learn about this unique layer of the Earth.
Seventh grade is continuing their study of cells’ activities and we made a leaf model of photosynthesis. We are also working on an explanatory model of the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
Eighth grade is studying Newton’s Laws and this week we worked with his second law…trying to discover the relationship between force, mass and acceleration.
