This week's slideshow highlights: 6th grade students explored cellular respiration and the function of cell membranes with a couple of hands-on lab experiments from their SEPUP Unit, "From Cells to Organisms"; 7th grade dug deeper into energy transfer during vehicle collisions with interactive SEPUP lab investigations as part of their physics unit, "Forces and Motion"; 8th grade worked on their integrated Science + Music Chicago Symphony Orchestra project by making historic timelines of major geologic and societal events going back 20,000 years into the past of Chicago's geographic location and human-environment interaction with the Chicago River watershed and Lake Michigan; and their are a couple of pics of 8th grade Homeroom 1013 conducting SEL activities outside during the freakish warm weather last week, as well as a pic of Decatur Lego League gearing up for their IL State Championship Tournament next weekend at Elgin Community College! Thanks for checking in with us this week:)
