Science Update: A few notes to parents and sudents that the Electrical unit in Science will run until Christmas break. Students will be asked to build a Parallel and Series circuit with drawings next week. This will be the unit test for Electricity. After Christmas break students will explore Micro-organisms. This unit involves using microscopes to identify specific organisms that students will grow in class using a Hay Infusion. I am also creating a schedule for students to look after our newly aquired fish tank, and class weather station. Two students will be responsible for maintaining the tank and feeding the fish and two students will be responsible for creating weather bulletins each day for the school. Students will be scheduled on a one week rotation. Finally Science Fair Projects will begin in the new year. I am asking students to start thinking about a topic for this project which is due sometime in March. Further details to follow in the new year!!
