Projects

7th Graders have turned in outstanding models of animal and plant cells! They clearly spent a lot of time getting to know each cell part and finding the perfect material to represent that part.

6th Graders are scientists now as they assist NASA in the CERES (Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System) project. The S'COOL (School Cloud Observations On-Line) website allows classrooms to record their cloud and weather observations, including cloud height, cloud type, ground temperature, relative humidity and ground surface cover when a satellite with a CERES instrument passes over the area. The CERES instruments can only see from above and can not distinguish what we can from below. The students observations help NASA to have a complete view of the cloud cover in an area, above and below. What a neat opportunity to gather data!

8th Graders are engineering boats to carry a specified cargo. They have calculated the displacement the boat must have in order to carry the cargo. Next they will have to decide how to build the boat so it will displace the appropriate amount of water.
