Thursday, April 7

5th graders had the opportunity to hold chickens today during science.  Pam from the Dodge Nature Center brought 5 chickens to class today. 

6th graders finished up their simple machine presentations today.  Neat and creative work by many.

The energy bike outside my classroom is powering a computer monitor.  Students are pedaling to charge a battery which is supplying power to the monitor.  They are quickly learning that it takes a lot of mechanical energy to make electricity to power one small monitor.

The tulip grew about 4 cm over night.  We can't wait to see the still image photos.
