Energy Investigation
Our 6th graders are on the move, literally, as they tackle an ADI investigation on potential and kinetic energy. They’re launching, dropping, and experimenting their way to the truth… because in science class, the only thing with more momentum than their projects is their curiosity.
Remember the Alamo
As part of our study of Texas history, students will design and build model versions of The Alamo. This project helps students explore the architecture, layout, and historical significance of the mission and battle site. Models can be made from materials like cardboard, clay, or craft supplies, and should reflect both creativity and accuracy. Through this project, students will gain a deeper understanding of the events and people that shaped the Texas Revolution while bringing history to life!
Depth and Perspective
6th grade art students are learning about how artists create depth and perspective in their work, identifying the differences in the foreground and background. They are using this knowledge to create their own underwater scenes using their favorite sea creature as a starting point. We will be developing these designs into oil pastel artworks next week.
