Mrs. Verano’s 8th graders had the exciting opportunity to meet Mrs. Erin Essler, the high school Biology teacher. She shared her expertise and introduced the class to Evolution and Natural Selection, providing evidence to support scientific theories. To make learning even more engaging, she used gummy bears to demonstrate natural selection in action. The students had fun observing how some gummy bears were ‘eaten’ while a few remained, helping them understand survival and adaptation in a hands-on way.

Today, Mrs. Verano’s 7th-grade class explored ecological niches and how abiotic and biotic factors contribute to an organism’s survival in an ecosystem. As part of the lesson, students created dioramas of specific ecosystems using homemade playdough to craft 3D models of organisms and environmental factors. Through this activity, they were able to identify adaptations and understand the roles organisms play in their environments.

🚨 SCIENCE IN ACTION! 🧪🔬 Ms. Nelson’s 5th-grade scientists took on the challenge of turning dull, old pennies into shiny, “brand-new” ones using just vinegar and salt! ✨ After conducting the experiment, we put our thinking caps on to test and discuss what happened. The big discovery? The vinegar and salt worked together to remove the dull outer layer of the penny, revealing the shiny copper underneath! To take it one step further, we used a steel nail, which collected tiny pieces of the copper removed from the pennies, proving our theory!

These are our Elementary character award winners from K-6th grade for Empathy! Congratulations and thank you for displaying great character!!!
