Balls and Ramps!

Over the past 2 weeks students have experimented with various inclined planes and marbles of different mass. After gathering some background knowledge, we conducted our first experiment and wrote a detailed lab report. Our question was, ¨Does the height of an inclined plane affect how far a marble will roll?¨  We conducted 3 trials at various heights and collected our data. Our claim is that, yes, the height will affect how far the marble rolls.  This week our variable will be the length of the inclined plane, using tubes of varying lengths.

Taste Test: Strawberry Rhubarb Bars!

Last week we had the opportunity to help prepare another special food for a test taste. We chopped, measured, stirred and prepared strawberry rhubarb bars for all of second grade! The results were awesome, with plenty of requests for seconds!  I will be emailing you the recipe to try at home!

Instrument Petting Zoo

Thank you to all the parent volunteers who made this special event possible!  We all learned a little about the instruments found in an orchestra and their origins. Trying out each instrument was a blast! So many budding musicians!!
