The Importance of Power

Submitted by sarah.ledingham on
Today the 5th graders students went on a field trip to the Springville power plant. We learned about power and safety. First we learned to call 811 before we dig outside. Second, we learned how to use power without getting electrocuted, for example, hair dryers and bathtubs. We had lots of fun playing with the shiny ball of death and generating electricity with the bike. We enjoyed cookies and lemonade for a yummy treat on a hot sunny day.

Submitted by sarah.ledingham on
The kids in Mrs. Simpson's class have been working hard learning the routines and procedures for a new year. They voted to do a read-a-thon for their reward. I love that they wanted to read as their reward! They really are great kids!

Reasons for the Seasons

Submitted by sarah.ledingham on

Sixth grade students have been discovering the reasons we have seasons.  As part of this discovery, students participated in a lab with four globes set up around the sun and worked to determine which globe represented each season.  Students gathered data by reading multimeters, measuring shadows, and analyzing the tilt at each globe.  In the end, students were able to correctly identify the season of each globe by collaborating and interpreting their data.
