This week's slideshow highlights: all classes in 5th-8th Grade Science Class continuing to build community to set the stage for cooperative learning through a series of team building challenges; students observing up close our pet Bearded-Dragon Lizard, Curtiss, along with our 55 gallon Lake Michigan aquatic ecosystem, which includes Rock Bass, Small-mouthed Bass, Bluegill Sunfish, and Crayfish caught from Belmont Harbor; all classes reviewed what a Scientist does and were reminded that "Everyone is born a scientist" and it is up to each of us to continue to tap into our own curiosity and wonder about the world; and 6th-8th grade students practiced some active reading strategies of science text and scientific writing through our latest issue of our class subscription of Scholastic Science World Magazine, in order to get ready for our first units of SEPUP/NGSS inquiry next week! Thank you for checking in with us this week:)
