Science Fair Help

If you are needing help with your child's science fair project help is on the way. During the last week of January and first week of February the afterschool program will be having workshops that will help your child set up, work on and complete their project. Students will have to remember that they need to do the work for the project. They need to come motivated and ready to work!

Tornado Warning

Students learned what temperature and atmospheric conditions were needed to create tornadoes. With the use of convection tubes, ice, hot water and some smoke from a punk we witnessed what happened when two different temperature weather fronts collide. The smoked swirled with the colder air sinking and the warm air rising. Students discussed the current weather conditions and the possibility of tornadic like weather occurring locally. That night Jane was hit with several tornadoes and massive amounts of rain. Our students were able to recognize the current conditions and knew to take precautions. I am happy to see all our students back safely!

Water Cycle Model

Students create a working model of the water cycle. They created stream tables with various soil components. They created a lake and wrapped in plastic wrap. The students placed a cold pack on top of the plastic wrap to simulate the cold condensation of clouds. The lake water evaporated up and down on the land. Students did a good job at keeping good observations.
