Third Grade

3rd grade wrapped up our Human Body unit with a visit from the district nurses. They showed us a cow heart, helped us watch digestion in action, looked at x-rays of broken bones, and labeled the systems of the body as review!

Fourth Grade

4th grade is learning about frequency and amplitude. We plugged a small speaker into a chromebook and went to a website that allowed us to change frequency and amplitude. We observed salt moving and bouncing, which increased in speed as we increased frequency and amplitude!
