The Seismograph project was, again, a huge success. The kids had great ideas. I have to admit, this is the first time I've ever had a student design a life-size seismograph. Totally creative little folks. Well done 6th grade!

The results are in.

Solar System Junkyard

2010-01-24T15:22:00.001-08:00

After recent class discussions over the pacific garbage patch, and what we should do with this trash in an effort to clean it up, I've been doing some more reading.

A few students pointed out that we could just shoot the trash into space. Some other students suggested this was a bad idea and really doesn't solve the problem.

I found this article that might give us some background as to why it's not a good idea for us to shoot more debris into the solar system. Read the article and then tell us what YOU think!

Interactive Periodic Table of Elements

2009-06-08T22:28:00.000-07:00

Per our classroom discussion today, I was checking out this interactive periodic table once again. It's worth checking out, if for no other reasons than, a) you will be exposed to all knowledge yet to come, 6th graders; and b) you will obtain a wealth of new "nickel knowledge", or tidbits to share when you feel like it. I learned tonight that plutonium was the fissile material (meaning the material they used to set it off) during the first testing of an atom bomb. Who knew? Anyway, check it out and weigh in. Lots of cool stuff.

"I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."

--Sir Isaac Newton

I have always found Newton to be fascinating because he created the first reflecting telescope. He developed something that helps us see into such an unknown space.

Who do you think has been the most influential in the world of science and why?
