Some of the […]

To practice the scientific method, students tested to find the soil combination that would hold the most water.   First, students observed garden soil, peat moss and sand.  Next, they make 4 different combinations of the soils and poured water into a paper cup with holes in the bottom to collect water in a beaker.  […]

They have been analyzing the genetics of each president and first lady to figure out which traits are available for their kids. They studied the phenotype of each president and his wife and then created a […]

Eighth grade science students are applying the laws of motion by building a mousetrap car. For the STEM activity, students were given choices of different materials to build their cars and then built them in class. As part of the lab, students will measure force, speed, and calculate work. The goal is to build a […]

In this activity, students studied the process of decomposition through exploration and discussion outside of the classroom.  Students then had to create displays of actual decomposition in nature and present them to their peers.
