September 11, 2012

The Advanced Math students, those in Algebra 1 and Geometry, now have their own blog to keep track of their daily activities, assignments and class information.  It is at chpcsalgeobro.blogspot .com.

Ms. Cantin brought her 4th grade class to the lab today and led them in preparing their own vial of a model of blood.  She used different color and size of beads for the cells and water dyed yellow for the plasma.   The purpose of the model was to show that blood is made of different components in different quantities.  Students will learn the function of each component.  This activity also gave students practice in counting to 1000 and dexterity.
Ms. Cantin will be bring here class back on Thursday for more investigation into blood.

Ms. Hans brought in the 5th grade class for an introduction to the science lab.  They also were introduced to the science research project process.  The information about assignments is in the CHPCS K-8 Science and Engineering Fair Guide.     The sciencebuddies.org site is a great resource for the project and has a topic survey for students to complete to help discern which project may be of interest.  There is also a list of over 1000 project ideas.
