PAPER AIRPLANE - the Science (Not Secrets) of How to Fly Far !

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY ?

Your beautiful lawn suddenly has a large dead spot - why why why why why ??  Fortunately you are a scientist and decide to employ the SCIENTIFIC METHOD to get some answers.   Start with making observations and developing questions about the dead spot.  

EARN A REWARD:  Begin your investigation into the dead spot on the lawn by studying the picture and doing some research (by simply talking to a gardener or parent).  On a sheet of paper, write down five observations and five questions you want to ask about the dead spot in the lawn.  Turn in your paper to Mrs D by Friday, 12 August to earn a reward! 




Students from GW Long and Rapaport - email me your observations and questions to adurrance@dalecountyboe.org to earn a reward !

DESIGN - BUILD - TEST ! - "Yes, I am a Rocket Scientist!"

With the end of the school year rapidly approaching, RAPS 4th Science Club celebrated our final meeting with rocket launching.  Students designed, built, and launched their own rockets using a 2-liter plastic bottle and ordinary materials from home.  Having just returned from Johnson Space Center, these students were inspired and ready.  Check out those rockets!

CONGRATULATIONS 4th GRADE SCIENCE CLUB - JOB WELL DONE!
