Happy Thanksgiving

 

As a culminating project to our Pilgrim and Native American studies, we created vests with Native American symbols. My friends came up with their own unique names, as well.  We loved sharing a traditional Thanksgiving feast from Oak Point in our class. Such a wonderful day filled with good food, friends and a visit from our wonderful principal, Mrs. Stone. Blessed to spend my days teaching my friends.             Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving! 

Thank you L.S.U. Chemistry Students

 

Thank you Tynia with the L.S.U. Chemistry Dept. My friends and I had a blast learning about polymers.  You did a fantastic job with our virtual lesson. My friends were so motivated and excited that they decided to create their own polymers next week. What a fun afternoon of learning and discovery!

Buoyancy - What Floats Your Boat?

When exploring buoyancy it's fun to take a break and create an edible boat. We discovered they were not buoyant, but very yummy. 

Cloud in a Cup - Drink it Up!

 

We conducted a neat science experiment today that we observed and enjoyed drinking after. A cloud in a cup gave my friends a chance to explore clouds and rain in a hands-on and engaging way! We even added red sprinkles for lightning. We had so much fun concluding our introduction to weather this week. 

Hip Hip Hooray for DNA!

           

 We enjoyed exploring how unique & special we are. On Friday, we created edible models of a strand of DNA. 

Hip hip hooray for DNA. 

It provides to key. 

To the plans for making everything in you and me!

The Atmosphere - Experimenting with Liquid Nitrogen

                           

We had a blast exploring the atmosphere this afternoon. Many thanks to our L.S.U. chemistry friends for helping us conduct the awesome experiments. Freezing roses, watching balloons shrink and expand as they warm up again and our favorite liquid nitrogen ice cream. An amazing afternoon filled with exploring, investigating and so much learning!

THANK YOU SEED SURVIVOR!

We loved our visit from "Seed Survivor" My students left with a better understanding that plants need water, light, healthy soil and nutrients to survive. They also learned about where their food comes from and the importance of agriculture to their daily lives. They loved planting sunflower seeds to take home and grow! We appreciate Seed Survivor coming to visit us at North Live Oak.
