Science Erupts in the Lower School!!
This week, Lower School Science was erupting with energy and enthusiasm.
In Third Grade, the boys eagerly studied volcanoes using CD-Roms and then created models of volcanoes that erupted. They’ll be moving onto earthquakes and plate tectonics next week by making “Peanut Butter and Jelly Geology” models of faults.
In Second Grade, the study of water concluded with Aquatic Animal Adaptations. The boys were challenged to create an animal using specific adaptations. The boys designed their animals and made models to display.
Kindergarten continued building their houses to withstand the winds of the “Big Bad Fan!” They will conclude the building unit next week.
First Grade explored invertebrates by comparing earthworms and millipedes. They made observations of live animals and created Venn Diagrams to show similarities and differences. The boys also made insect guide books.
Fourth Grade finished their testing of paper towels by analyzing their wet strength, absorbency, and value data. They will move onto shampoo testing next week in order to hone their experimental design skills.
The Science Challenge on how animals prepare for winter is due next week….we’ll keep you posted!
