Urbas - Science Week of March 10 - 14

First of all I want to congratulate the two teams I am working with on a Hydrogen Fuel Cell project sponsored by Argonne National Labs. My 7th and 8th grade participants placed 5th in the academic competition last Saturday at Argonne out of 12 schools! Excellent job! They are now starting the construction of their cars for the next competition in April.




The sixth grade is deep in their study of light and have been writing their reflections on it in class. They have worked with reflection and will be starting observations of color and its characteristics.




I have posted a couple of photos of students below, doing an experiment on angles of Incidence and Reflection.
