They transported the jugs outside to get some sunshine. The students will track progress of the plants for the remainder of the school year.
7th Grade Science students learned about vernal pools and the unique habitat role they play in our ecosystem. Vernal pools are a great place for amphibians, like the wood frogs pictured here, to reproduce each year.
7th grade Science students dissected earthworms to learn about their unique anatomy and biological processes. Earthworms are often overlooked organisms that play a vital role in our ecosystems and agriculture.
Students in Mr. Williams' 8th Grade STEM Class are currently involved in a unit on building robots. Students are building, from the ground-up, Lego robots. Once the robot is built, the students will then be responsible for programming them to complete specific tasks around the classroom. Students are learning the benefits of utilizing robots in different industries to solve problems.
