It has been a crazy and amazing start of the school year at UCA.  I feel so blessed to be able to a part of this school and the wonderful staff. We are half way through September and it will soon be October.  In a lot of ways school is already going by fast, but it has been great so far.
In 7th grade Science class we have spent about a week on the scientific method and have about two more weeks to finish our unit.  Last week student's were building towers out of sponges and toothpicks to see what group could build the tallest tower.  After allowing students to switch one of their variables the tallest tower was 62 centimeters.  Also, in this unit we are learning about different science specialties and the characteristics of living things. 
Next week our class will be using the scientific method and be experimenting with gummy bears :) and different liquids. I will try my best to remember to take picture and post them.  Everyone is doing well with the unit and enjoying exploring and learning about the scientific method through different labs and classwork.
