Urbas - Science Week of Nov. 20 - 26

Students have started the unit on LEGO machines this week and are excited about using "toys" in class. Little do they know that there is actually real science content that they will be exploring. The introductory aspect of learning the part names took place this week and next week they will start building structures and working models using Lego's.

"We want to build".

Urbas - Science Week of Nov. 13 - 18

Students are working with Newton's Three Laws of Motion at the current time. They are starting to understand why events occur and what the results are. The laws can be tied to football games and rockets and many occurrences they come into contact with daily.

Happy Friday the 13th, by the way.

Urbas - Science Week of Nov. 6 - 12

Students this week started their investigations of pulleys and have started to realize some of the uses for them. As pictured, pulleys and cranes have been instrumental in the building of our country and important buildings.

Next week students will continue to explore the pulley system and will lift objects, themselves included to new heights.
