Students each chose and researched a germ/microbe. Once the germ/microbe was chosen, students created a model in felt and wrote reports, made bookmarks, t-shirts, and advertisements. They learned a ton and had a blast! Who knew deadly diseases could be so darn cute????

A huge thanks to the site, www.donorschoose.org, for giving us the opportunity to get a carnivorous plant terrarium for every table in our classroom. The students got to plant their carnivorous plants and we have been observing them and conducting various experiments. It has added a new dimension to our plant unit! We are so appreciative and excited about it!
We did some slinky science while reading a book by Nan Marino, “Neil Armstrong is My Uncle…”. Students were challenged to figure out the best angle to “walk” a slinky down a ramp. After much data collection and trial and error, we found it!
