BACTERIAL ART! (Second Block)

Welcome to the Bacterial Art Show
In science this month we have been studying bacteria as we further investigate the search for life on another planet. As we looked through the microscope we saw art! Art takes many forms and you will see a few of those forms as you take a virtual stroll through our art gallery!

Meet the MICE!

These female mice will race the robots being designed in each class. The question being answered is Robot or Animal. Who do you think will win!

1st Hour: Usainia Bolt

2nd Hour: Cocoa

3rd Hour: Carmella

6th Hour: Squeakers

Mouse vs. Robot

Progress: Teams are working hard to ensure that their side (mouse or robot) will be the first to conquer the maze. Robot teams have begun to program, maze designers are working hard on the final maze designs and the mice trainers have started to see results.

Time to Revive the Blog

Fifth grade science is full of exciting changes this year. We are nearly finished with phase one of the simulator redesign, our students are exploring their world in ways that no fifth grade class has ever done with their iPads and we are embarking upon new projects that will push our young scientists to do and discover more.

Who is watching who? Using iPads at the Oklahoma Aquarium.

1st Hour Robot Team

The first half of the year has been full of discovery as we have learned about chemsitry, physics and ecology using the oceans as the vehicle for the discovery. It has been quite a journey. Currently my amazing scientists ar exploring this question: Can a robot complete a maze faster than a mouse? They came up with this question and experiement all on their own. Half of the class is building and programming a robot while the other half is working on training a mouse to complete the maze. Subsets of each group are working as public affairs and maze design teams. Stay tuned for more cool information as the teams gear up for an early December race!

SPARTONIUM

As we learn more and more about science, one of the key abilities of any good scientist is the ability to communicate what he/she knows or has found our through their research. We did presnetations about our Spartonium lab and the findings from that lab. Here is what our 1st hour students thought was the best presentation from their class. Good job Adley and Nick!



In 2nd hour Emily and Joseph used a different mode of communication but got their point across very well.

                   

                           

                            

                            

          

Such an original way to share your research! Good work crews!
