Open house

Thank you thank you everyone!! I really enjoyed seeing all of you who were able to attend Open House last night!  Our students did such a wonderful job showing everyone around!! 

Interactions!

In science we are beginning the study of interactions.  We have experimented by putting two different objects together to see if they effect one another.  We put a candy in water, used a magnet to attract a paper clip and figured out how to make a light bulb light using only a D cell battery, a copper wire and a low watt light bulb.




Today (10/3) we used our breath to change the pH of water from a neutral to an acid with our carbon dioxide!  BTB (a chemical that detects acids and bases) was diluted into water and just simply blowing into it with a straw was all it took to turn the blue solution into a yellow-green color!  The sounds of the bubbles we created in the quiet room cracked me up, so I had to take a video!! Science is hilarious (and fun too)!
