In science, we continue to learn about climate change, carbon footprint, energy conservation and different forms of renewable energy. We will build a solar powered community by the end of our "Energy and Our Environment" unit. We have been fortunate to have wonderful guest speakers visit the Lower School and share their knowledge about environmental issues and discuss ways we can take care of our environment. Mr. Dan Northcut, an ESD parent and environmental science teacher at St. Mark's, presented about energy and electricity. On Earth Day we had a guest speaker from The City of Dallas EEI present on landfills and the benefits of recycling. On May 5th we welcome Tania Homayoun, Ph.D., Senior Conservation Biologist from Audubon Texas. She will present to all third grade students on bird/nature friendly communities and how our ecological footprint makes a difference. Stay tuned for more information about our Third Grade Conservation Convention!
