• 2:29 Week 21 of 2022-23|5th-8th Grade Science

  This week's slideshow highlights: 8th graders exploring how atoms combine for from molecules and compounds as part of their "Chemistry of Materials" SEPUP unit; 7th grade investigating how simple inherited traits are passed from parents to offspring, and then to a 3rd generation via genes; 6th graders began exploring how convection in the Earth's mantle causes tectonic plate movement in the Earth's lithosphere; and 5th grade investigated how thermal energy fluctuations lead to differences in water density, as well as differences in density of salt and fresh water via melting sea ice. They then connected this back to the Earth's conveyor belt of warm and cold ocean currents and how that can impact a location's climate. Lastly, there are some pics of 7th grade students surprising Mr. Murray with cards they made to celebrate and honor all that he does for Decatur as part of National School Counselors Week! There is even a pick of Mr. Murray stopping by to explore chemistry with our 8th grade class:)

  Students participated in a jigsaw activity where they started in a base group and chose an animal they wanted to research how its eyes functioned. Each person in the group chose a different animal so later when they reported back everyone could share about a different animal. They researched with another partner how these organisms see and shared with their group what they learned.
