3rd Grade - These students learned that Paleontology is the science that deals with the fossils of animals and plants that lived very long ago especially in the time of dinosaurs. Their explorer was Oprah Winfrey who did not wow her bosses as a TV reporter. They moved her to a morning talk show and the rest is history. The focus of the affective lesson was preserving our gifts . Students had to create a structure from tape and straws that would protect an egg when dropped.
5th Grade - Today this group celebrated National Eat Ice Cream for breakfast with their teacher as it was also her birthday. Their vocabulary word for today was Inception which means start or beginning. The explorers were Richard (Dick) Knerr and Arthur (Spuds) Melvin who invented the hula hoop and saved hundreds of jobs. The warm up activity was a Quizzles/logic elimination puzzle.Our exploration lesson focused on the generalization that the explorations of new frontiers may impact advancements in other fields of study. This led to a science experience regarding the earth's tectonic plates.
2nd Grade - This class learned about the power of ice as they studied glaciers in their discovery lesson.
