Essler's 7th grade Life Science has been learning about the flow of energy in a system. We've explored the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration, specifically. This week your scientists investigated how glucose affects the rate of cellular respiration. On Wednesday they made yeast beads, it was a pretty cool process! Then today we used the beads to put in respirometers that they assembled to measure the amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) produced in our Control (just water + yeast beads) versus our Experiment (glucose + yeast beads). #esslerscience

Essler's Biology used spinach to measure the rate of photosynthesis! The biologists chose between sodium bicarbonate (source of carbon dioxide) or light intensity to manipulate the rate of photosynthesis! They first vacuumed the air out of the spinach cads, then as photosynthesis occurred and created oxygen they watched the spinach cads begin to float! #esslerscience

Kindergarten has been learning to draw their notes and rests this week in Music!
The 4th graders have been learning about diversity and how all of us are very different. They have found similarities between themselves and others, and we talked about how boring it would be if everyone in their class was the same! We wrapped up our lesson reading a book titled, "Just Ask" which focuses on differences that many people have such being blind, deaf, having diabetes, allergies, or having autism and ADHD. Our students did a great job, and I'm looking forward to finishing our diversity unit and seeing them be such compassionate and critical thinkers!
