DIG!

Today we learned about fossil fuels. Students read an article about the types of fossil fuels and how we depend on them.  They also learned how fossil fuels are harmful to the Earth. To further understand this concept, students went digging for fossil fuels.  Instead of digging in the ground, they dug in cookies.  Raisins, chocolate chips,  and M&Ms represented the fossil fuels that students had to dig out of their cookies. Students learned that not only is using fossil fuels harmful to the environment,  but digging is also harmful.

Science tools

This year we will be using many scientific tools to make observations and to conduct different types of experiments.  On Wednesday the students were given an opportunity to try out some of these tools.  They used scales, microscopes, computers, graduated cylinders, magnifying glasses, and many others to complete different activities. The students had a lot of fun and learned about science too!
