Johnny Appleseed Day

Submitted by sarah.ledingham on

 On Friday we celebrated "Johnny Appleseed Day" with an apple graph and applesauce.  We got to taste each type of apple and vote for our favorite kind.  Yellow and green almost tied but in the end yellow apples were the favorite.  We created a 'pictograph' and then used that information to make a 'bar graph'.  We all had a lot of fun!

Reasons for the Seasons

Submitted by sarah.ledingham on
Sixth grade students have been learning about the reasons for the seasons.  They were able to take data readings at four different globes for both the Northern and Southern hemispheres.  Then, students analyzed their data to determine which globe represented which season.  Students also found that their data for the two hemispheres showed why the hemispheres have opposite seasons.  Students were able to prove through this lab why Earth's tilt and revolution around the Sun cause the seasons.
