Yesterday middle school science participated in basketball relays to review balanced and unbalanced forces. Boys shot 3 pointers and girls shot free throws. They had to make the basket before they could come answer their question and rotate players. (The basketball coaches can thank me later 😂) This was a hit!

STAAR review is in full swing in 8th grade science classes! Yesterday students raced to answer questions over subatomic particles (they were VERY competitive). Today students built atoms. The only way students can earn tokens is by answering questions correctly about the elements and periodic table. Way to go Yellowjackets!
Spring Break is just around the corner! See the images for upcoming calendar announcements.
Some fun things have happened in elementary science lately! Check out the images to see what 3rd and 5th grade science have been up to.
7th grade science chose a biome to research and build last week. Students had to figure out the climates and precipitation, common animals and their food chains/webs, symbiotic relationships, and human impacts on their particular biomes. Mrs. Powell is very proud of the work her students put into this! Way to go Yellowjackets!

Mrs. Powell's 6th grade class learned about volcanoes last week and decided to make some models! Students were given the choice to make their models erupt or not. It was a week long research and build! Some of the aspects researched included the four main types of volcanoes, parts of a volcano, where volcanoes are found, what type of plate boundaries volcanoes are formed at, and the “Ring of Fire”. It was messy, but it was so much fun! Check out the images for the projects. It's a great day to be a Yellowjacket!
