Week 20 of JHS Science 2023-34

This week's slideshow highlights: both 7th and 8th grade classes exploring Physics, 8th investigated sound and light as part of their Waves SEPUP Unit, and 7th investigated how to measure energy transformations between gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy through their Forces & Motion SEPUP inquiry unit; 6th grade explored the "History of Cell Theory and Germ Theory of Disease", and while doing so, they noticed that our class textbook only highlighted important contributions to both theories from men, and no women. So, they decided to draft emails to our SEPUP textbook editors asking why? We look forward to hearing back from them (Mr. K personally knows some of the editors!). There are also some shots of 6th grade enjoying some earned class "Game Time", a Snickers class bearded dragon siting, and our Decatur Classical Lego Team members gearing up for the IL State Tournament Competition, which will be held at Elgin Community College on Saturday, February 17th! Thank you for checking in with us this week:)
