Lower School Science Classes Make New Discoveries

Fourth grade has completed all of their mold observations for the Mold Symposium and now they are working hard to report about what they have found. 








There is one thing that they are sure to all have discovered and that is, although some molds can be very healthy for our bodies, they are all pretty yucky to look at.










To conclude our study of birds in the science classroom, second grade is dissecting owl pellets. They began by completing a virtual dissection of an owl pellet on the tablets and then moved on to dissecting the actual owl pellets.  The second graders are working very meticulously with their tools and making sure they are able to discover and identify all of the skeletal pieces of the regurgitated animals the owls have eaten.



 Kindergarten became junior chemists and discovered how to make polymer worms when they combined sodium alginate and calcium chloride.





They concluded their study of worms in science class by preparing an appropriate home for our classroom worm pets. The students prepared a proper meal by using utensils to cut an array of delectable fruit and vegetable scraps into small pieces to place into our classroom worm composting bins. After preparing the bins, the students then carefully moved the worms into their new homes.
