Museum of Science and Industry

The third and fourth grade recently went on a field trip to the Museum of Science and Industry. Both classes participated in a learning lab, where they became forensic scientists to discover who stole the invisibility device. They dusted for fingerprints, tested powders, and looked at the chromatography of ink to solve the crime. They also got the chance to see the museum's brand new exhibit: Science Storms. This hands-on exhibit showed students how physics elements affect the weather, natural disasters, and energy.

The rooms that students wired with their circuits were a big success! Photos can be seen above.

In the short week we have before break, students will have a social studies test Tuesday and a spelling test on Wednesday. I also sent home last Friday a letter about the science fair, which will be held April 29 and 30. Please refer to that for my expectations and to begin thinking of ideas.
