1st Grade - These students expanded their analytical skills with Sybil the Scientist by sorting and classifying some unusual creatures. This was followed by reading activities surrounding the book Senses in the City by Shelley Rotner.
2nd Grade - The word of the day was Palpable which means something that can be easily felt. Their investigator was the "Unsinkable Molly Brown." She earned her nickname by helping save everyone in her lifeboat while the Titanic was sinking. Their warm-up activity was a Surprise in the Middle drawing.
5th Grade - Their vocabulary word was Poultice. A poultice is a moist soft mass of bread, meal, or clay or other adhesive substance, usually heated, spread on cloth, and applied to warm, moisten, or stimulate an aching or inflamed part of the body. The investigator was Anton Leeuwenhoek who invented the microscope. A Surprise in the Middle drawing was the warm-up activity. "Does anything ever happen by chance?" drove the philosophy discussion. Today's structure was "Swaying Structures" or buildings in an earthquake.
