Human Body Final Projects

In December the students worked in small groups to create a life size human body for their final body systems project. They had to draw and label the organs in the major body systems. Also, each student researched an organ that they were interested in learning more about. Then they created a "Wanted" poster that included its picture and description.

Motion Experiments in Science

The fifth graders have been doing many experiments in science to learn about motion and force. They have had to calculate the speed of a car by measuring the distance it traveled divided by the time it took in seconds. They conducted experiments to find out how friction, mass, and force affect the distance cars travel down a ramp. They were able to see Newton's 3rd law in action when they made rockets by attaching a balloon to a straw that went through a string. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Staff Sergeant Chris Grady

Staff Sergeant Chris Grady visited with the 5th graders on Veteran's Day. He is in the Army Reserve and spent one year in Afganistan. He explained life in Afganistan while showing many pictures. Plus he brought several items such as his helmet, scarves, hats, and blankets to share with the students. The students enjoyed listening to this veteran's experiences in Afganistan. Thanks for serving our county.

Veteran's Day

All of the 5th graders created flags in tribute of Veteran's Day. The students were very creative. There were flags made from a boot, clock, basketball, scooter, wood, planter, Christmas lights, posters, and many other materials.
