Can You Find the Layers of Earth

Week One Rescue Mission to the Center of the Earth

This team ROCKED IT!

8th Grade is back and they DUG our first science lab activity!  Students have heard about recent geologic events like the Gulf of Mexico oil spill from the ocean floor. Then the world heard the news about the 33 miners trapped 2,300 feet below the Earth's surface in Chile, South America.  Questions were asked, "Why don't we have the technology to take care of these catastrophes immediately?

Students participated in a simulation where they used their 3x3 edible Earth models; a series of clues to help find a missing research team somewhere in the center of Earth.  KUDOS! Great detective work!

Racing Off to A Great 2010-2011 Year!

What a terrific year we have ahead of us! Lots of changes for the 2010-2011 school year! Ms. Tierney has changed the math room in to the Science Lab! It will also be the 6th Grade Homeroom and I look forward to greeting all our 6th graders.

We kick off the science year with a rescue mission to the center of the Earth! October we will be busy making mummies in preparation for our first fieldtrip of the year to the California Science Center near Exposition Park/USC.

Parents, be on the look out for occasional 'Wish List' items. The lab depends upon your generous donations and we want to conduct as many 'hands-on' exploration labs as possible.

Please check in here weekly to see what we are discovering!
