Thursday Class

Today in science we work on putting the final touches to our demonstrations. Tomorrow we begin the process of actually giving our presentations!

Driving Question: How can we bring to "life" the "magic" of chemistry?

Wednesday Class

Driving Question: How can we bring to "life" the "magic" of chemistry?

Today we split up into two groups:

1. The first group traveled with Mr. Wandel to the lab room to run a lab on physical change. A major point of emphasis of this lab is to teach proper safety procedures.

2. The second group worked with Mr. Malefyt on their demonstration research.

The Major Demonstration Database will give you resources to begin searching for ideas for your final demonstration.

Keep up the good work!!!!

Friday and Monday

We will be continuing to investigate physical and chemical change via the Roadmap #2 on the last blog entry.  Students will be designing their edible demonstration to be done on Monday.  This will help students to develop a frame of reference to improve with for their final demonstration at the end of the project.

Groups:  Students will have SOME voice in their groups.  Teachers will make the final CHOICE for their groups for the final demonstration.  Groups will be formed next week.

The Major Demonstration Database will give you resources to begin searching for ideas for your final demonstration.

The Final Demonstration Application will need to be filled out by each demonstration group.

Monday Through Wednesday! Chemical and Physical Change

Here is the link to the second road map!

Sorry it was late.  The post I originally sent did not go through!

Friday Class

Today in science we continue to work on our gathering of data for our chemistry project.

1. Students completed the "adopt an element" activity.

2. Students worked on completing the first road map.

3. Coach Wandel provided a cool demonstration!

Thursday.....Adopt An Element

Today students will be working on the Adopt an Element activity to help them gather more information about Elements and The Periodic Table.  Below are the links kids can use to search for information to create their poster!

Tuesday Class

Today in science we continue to work on our chemistry project: How can we bring to life the "magic" of chemistry? 

Students are currently gathering information on atoms, compounds, and molecules. The roadmap about atoms, compounds, and molecules is below.

Enjoy the weather!

Friday Class

Today students enjoyed playing their fossil games while conversations and assessment took place. We will be pulling out model games to be highlighted and stored for future standardized test review!

Well done and enjoy the weather this weekend!!!! Monday we continue the work on our chemistry project: How can we bring to life the "magic" of chemistry?
