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:)

4th Science Jigsaw activity
Featured
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.

Week 19 of 2022-23 | 5th - 8th Grade Science
This week's slideshow highlights: 5th grade class investigating Earth's ocean surface temperature distribution patterns to see if there is a relationship with latitude; 6th grade conducted a cooperative group lab experiment to test how "Green Roof" garden designs can lower indoor air temperature to combat the phenomenon of "The Urban Heat Island Effect", as well as how green roofs can reduce urban runoff that often leads to flooding; both 6th and 7th grade classes received a special visit from Northwestern University students who presented to them on their work as part of NU's chapter of "Engineers Without Borders/EWB"; the NU EWB members also led a cooperative group engineering and design STEM challenge where both 7th grade classes got together to see which team of 3 students could design the most effective water filter; 7th grade also wrapped up their Cell Biology SEPUP unit by taking their unit final exam and they began their next SEPUP Inquiry Unit on "Reproduction" by digging into how genes are passed from parents to offspring and sometimes contribute to genetic disorders such as Marfan Syndrome; and 8th grade class worked in cooperative research teams to collect evidence as they participated in a mock Chicago City Council debate on whether plastic, glass, or aluminum should be the material of choice for drink containers within the city as part of their "Chemistry of Materials" SEPUP Inquiry Unit. Thank you for checking in with us this week:)
