Go Green
We went green in April. We celebrated Earth Day by reading about ways that kids can make a difference and care for the Earth. We even read that the Bible says, The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. (Genesis 2:15). So, taking care of the planet is not just a good idea, but it’s something that God told us to do. We each planted some seeds in a recycled cup that we decorated. When the seeds become flowers we can replant them outside where they are not only beautiful, but also good for the environment.

Cosmic Bodies
In the month of May, 8th grade learned about cosmic bodies. We discussed the Sun, the formation of the planets and got to see which planets are closest to the Earth.

Blood
Some people get queasy with the sight of blood. 7th grade made blood. We took some beads and designated the beads with a part from the blood stream and mixed the beads together to show the same consistency as a doctor would find in the blood.
Mr. Penland
Friction and Resistance
It’s the month of May and only 1 month of school left. We have been learning about friction and resistance. The students were challenged with having to stop a toy with wheels from going down a steep ramp without hitting the ground. A few groups were successful in stopping their wheeled toys from reaching the final mark.

What is climate?
How does a person determine what the weather is going to be for the weekend? Why do meteorologists get the weather wrong? This April we discussed and answered these questions and many more concerning the climate.

Waves
Waves are very interesting items to learn about. Tsunamis, rip waves, and regular currents are going to be the lessons for this month. Wavelengths and periods are very interesting to learn about during 6th grade.
