Galax Middle School

It's been a week full of learning at Galax Middle School!!! From Egg Drops to taping the Principal to the wall, we've done it all!!!

Mrs. Ramey's 7th grade Science classes were challenged to create an apparatus that would allow their raw egg to be safely dropped from a distance of about 20 feet. The students were very creative in their designs.

Mrs. Leonard's 7th Grade Math Students created a "human-number line to review absolute value and the distance from zero. They played card games ("Crazy Match" (like UNO), "Pairs Challenge", and "Concentration") to determine distance between integers on a number line. Students had to identify matching cards that shared the same distance between 2 given integers, and reviewed perfect squares and defined square roots using "Perfect Square" models made out of Cheez-its.

5th Grade wins United Way competition and tapes Mr. Iroler to the wall!!!
