In this week's slideshow there are pics of: 6th grade working in cooperative groups to prepare their projects for the upcoming Energy Fair on June 6th, where they will present to students and staff from other grades to teach all about renewable energy such as wind, solar, hydropower, maglev, etc., as well as energy consumption and efficiency; 6th grade also got a special visit to our classroom from freshman and sophomore college students who are part of Northwestern University's Engineers Without Borders Program (EWB), where they presented to our students how they apply the same STEM skills they are learning now to pursue their own STEM pathways in areas such as surgical medicine, neurology, chemistry, and engineering; 7th grade worked in cooperative teams exploring the anatomy of bullfrogs though our bullfrog dissection project, which is a culmination of NGSS standards that they explored this year from cells to organisms through our SEPUP Biological Science Units of study; 8th grade will also get to explore the dissection project next week once graduation practices are complete. Thank you for checking in with us this week!
