Urbas - Science Week of April 26 - May 2

Students constructed their own Starfinders in class and are encouraged to try and use them to locate constellations in the night sky, weather permitting.

Next week we will continue to examine stars and how their existence makes life possible on Earth. (And maybe someplace else.)

The Dome is coming.

Urbas - Science Week of April 5 - 11

Students are studying water and will be working with the Water Cycle pictured.

We take for granted water in our everyday lives, but water is and will be getting to be more of a concern in the future.

How will the problem of water be solved, only time will tell.  I think I need a tall cool glass right now.
