8th: Today we reviewed what we did this week with rockets and how they operate and then took a short quiz. Everyone did awesome which I think might have something to do with the fact that parent/teacher conferences were this week. After that I showed the kids a recovery of the space shuttle first stage rocket boosters from the ocean. Cool stuff.
7th: Today we had our 5th quiz over plate tectonics, which everyone seemed to do pretty well on. After that we started in on Forces in the Earth’s Crust by watching a bit on Mt. St. Helens. Very cool documentary on the eruption. I can’t wait to get to our projects in the coming weeks!
