Week of 5/12

Hi All,

Last week brought with it more information and notes on the respiratory system. We then took a quiz related to the muscular, digestive and respiratory system. We also did the "tidal volume" water bucket demo together. Here are a few kids working hard on the quiz!



Friday was an interesting day as we accomplished our second video conference with students from Mexico. We also learned about the path of blood through the heart!

Lastly, during the second academic period on friday we answered the question, "if a tree falls at scofield an a science teacher is teaching, will the kids hear it?" YES...they did! Here is an image of it after it hit the ground narrowly missing several staff vehicles!




I look forward to some hands on experiments this week relating to the circulatory system and a "Feel the Beat" Assessment. We'll really get our blood pumping!

Mr. Forde :-)

  3. Don't do the "take action" part of the HW!

    Sorry I wasn't clearer on that Ryan.
