Air Pressure

We have taken our final test on the Scientific method. The students will have returned test and papers on Monday and Tuesday. You will be recieving an updated progress report on Thursday(B day) or Friday(A day)from my class. The students all had great grades on the school progress report because all of our work had been hands on. Now, the quiz and test results will be included in their grade.


Thank you for all of your help on a successful field trip. The next trip will not be until January. The trip will be to Kirby-Smith /MOSH for a district program on Challenger and Air Pressure. The cost will be free but students maybe excluded because of classroom behavior.

The Table of Contents for this wee is as follows:
9/24-25-Air Pressure                                   p.28-29
9/28-29-Can Crush                                     p.30-31

The packet will be due on September 25.
Thank you : )

Mystery tubes, laws and theories

 I hope everyione enjoyed Open House! It was wonderful to see students and thier parents. I enjoy using observations and the scientific methods to see which parents are with which student. I have the Table of Contents updates and Field Trip information. I did attend an informational meeting on the Science Fair. It was great to review rules and to find out great places for the students to gain knowledge about the process.

Table of Contents:

9/10-11- Laws and Theories ( con't)                                                              page 18-19

Field Trip information:

The two sixth grade teams will be Field Tripping on Thursday ,September 24. We will be going to MOSH for two events. The Planeterium and a walk through the Human Body. ( Did you know the average person expells Methane gas 18 times a day!~) The students will need a bag lunch and drink because we will eat at Friendship Fountain. The cost of the trip is $10.00. The fist ten Chaperones are free and after those spots are filled it will be $5.00 each. Come and explore the day with us!

 Here are some great links for Science FAir and other interesting places:

New Table of contents and assignments

Hi everyone!

We have continued sinking Lincoln to work on the Inquirey Method of experiments.We will carry this knowledge into the year for Science Projects large and small.
