A Slice of Earth and Matching Graphs!

This week 7th grade students have continued investigating what is inside the Earth. Students chose between modeling a slice of Earth using Geometer Sketchpad or using paper. Both ways required students to research the Earth's layers and create a scale model of a slice of the Earth. We worked hard to convert numbers and figure out how to make a model to scale. Students finished the activity by creating "info bubbles" that presented important facts about each layer!

Ninth grade students have been running around the science lab! This is a good thing...students have been using motion detectors to create Distance-Time graphs using LoggerPro on their laptops. The ability to create real-time graphs is a great tool to use in Physics!


Once students finish up with their graph matching we will analyze a ball dropping in slow motion to begin discussing acceleration. Buckle Up!

This past week was Spirit Week! Check out Jacob and me on Nerd Day!
That's a sight for sore eyes!
