Weekend Science Fun!

Just because it's the weekend, doesn't mean we have to stop all of the science fun! Here's what's scheduled for your weekend:

7/8 Grade--Work on your insect collection! If you are available, meet me on Sunday at 5:00 pm at the Wave Pool Entrance at Schlitterbahn (across from the Christmas Shoppe).

Bring:

1. an adult (needs to stay with us--it should be fun!)
2. a net
3. a killing jar

I will take you to a "secret spot" by the Comal River that will hopefully be crawling with creepies:)

6th Grade--how about some extra credit? Since we are studying atoms and elements, how about making an edible Carbon atom?

Here's some tips:

The Incredible, Edible Atom Project Requirements

1. All electrons, neutrons, and protons must be made of food.
2. The protons, neutrons, and electrons need to be proportional to each other. For example, for Hydrogen you could have an Apple as a proton, and a peanut for the electron. Electrons are very small. They hang out in energy levels. (hint hint)
3. Use cheap food/candy. This assignment is not encouraging food or money waste.
4. It is not required that you eat your completed atom. It may not meet health standards.
5. Your name needs to be somewhere on the model.

5th Grade--I sent home extra credit worth 12 points added to yesterday's test! Don't forget to put your name on your flower. You might want to finish up collecting leaves this weekend!
