We will move forward from that and start investigating how different economic disasters in the United States started and how they affected the people. For each disaster, we spend time researching how the people respond, including the art associated with the response) and the power that involved citizens have.

Students dove into the history of film this first week! We learned about how the medium of film was created and looked into different eras of film history. We will continue to look at the art and science of movie making in hopes of having great discussions about movies both new and old.

In our Nuclear Energy class, students are learning about the periodic table of elements and atomic structure. One project option is to create an atomic model of one element from the periodic table.Next we’ll learn about renewable and nonrenewable energy sources before focusing on historic nuclear disasters from around the world.
