Students will be completing an engineering project that goes along with our Natural Hazards and Natural Disasters Unit.  They will be constructing and testing tornado shelters.

The Engineering Problem each rotation decided upon (CR is criteria and CO is constraints).

Students designing and creating their tornado shelters

Finished shelters and testing (bring out the leaf blower).  After testing students will discuss with their groups what worked and didn't work and what changes they need to make to their shelters. 

Pumpkin Jack (continued from October)

Using a Microscope to Explore Cells - Students used a microscope to examine various samples and described what they observed.  Then students compared and contrasted the observations of the different samples.

The Incredible Edible Cell Hands-On Inquiry Lab

In this activity students took a closer look at organelles (Cell Cytoplasm, Nucleus, Smooth and Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi Bodies, Ribosomes, Mitochondria, Centrioles, Vacuoles, Lysosomes), their function, and created an edible cell.
