Hurricane Relief
From Mr. Watkins' Science Classes...
Seventh Grade Science
This year we have already completed our first three labs and are off to an excellent start.
Students have explored the physical properties of density, volume mass and measurement. They have identified unknown solids using density calculations and have a good understanding of the 21 units in the metric system. We have been measuring, weighing and displacing our way through unit one. We are beginning to explore physical and chemical changes as well as properties. We will continue to work with the properties of matter and explore different forms of energy as the year progresses. We have accomplished a great deal in a short amount of time and students should be proud of themselves!
Eighth Grade Science
The school year has been off to a great start! We have explored the Scientific Method and completed our Airplane Flight experiments! In addition, we have launched our new Amplify Science program and have been exploring the world of Microbiomes and fecal transplants. Students have drafted Scientific arguments including evidence that supports fecal transplants and microbiome research. The arguments were drafted as press releases , to convince a senator to fund microbiome research. Students have been doing an awesome job!
Both classes have been introduced formally to the class pet, our Ball Python Kaa, he is over 600 grams now and feeding on frozen rats. Students were surprised to see that he is a big baby and rolls into a ball when scared. His ancestors come from the Sudan and live in dark burrows for most of their lives. Kaa lives in a custom enclosure that Mr. Watkins ordered through Herptastic Reptiles, the enclosure mimics his natural habitat and keeps Kaa safe and snug when he is not helping to teach. He will be used to help teach genetics as he is a hybrid snake that has been bred for specific traits and also to help teach temperature and about vertebrates as well as reptile husbandry.
