Dry Ice, Sounds and More...

Today students finished up the last missing problems on their benchmarks. They also had a lot of fun, new learning experiences. In math students were introduced to a sound measurement device with the assistance of Dr. Stroup. We measured decibels and watched as graphs were generated. Students will be designing a lunchroom measurement plan using the lesson learned in the cafeteria. Students were able to apply their knowledge of factors, multiples and factor pairs as they made decisions about the interval of time that sound would be measured. In science today students explored with dry ice. Students observed what would happen to dry ice when bubbles were in the middle of the dry ice air and normal air. They also dropped it into beakers of water and observed a change. In History Alive students watched a video about active listening in their study of social skills. They then practice the skills in a role play scenario.
