Urbas - Science Week of Jan 31 - Feb 6

Students in Science this week will be constructing a structure they design to support a load and try to withstand a simulated earthquake. Students will be working in teams to try and solve the problem.

Let the best Tower win!

Urbas - Science Week of Jan. 24 - 30

Students have been examining the seismic waves that are produced from an earthquake. Next week they will be using the waves to predict and locate where an alleged earthquake has taken place. They will be trying to triangulate the location using Primary and Secondary waves of an earthquake. Hold on!

Urbas - Science Week of Jan 17 - 22

Students have begun their investigations of Plate Tectonics and Earthquakes. The picture to the left is showing an earthquake that occurred below the surface at the Focus. The actual spot the earthquake occurred is marked at the surface and is called the Epicenter. The Fault is a break in the rocks that is the main cause of earthquakes.

Urbas - Science Week of Jan. 10 - 16

Welcome back after a slightly longer winter break than expected! Students have begun their studies and investigations of the Earth and the layers that make it up. In the next few weeks, they will learn about Plate Tectonics, the layers and makeup, geology, and what has changed since the Earth formed. It promises to be a shaking experience!

There is also an Extra Credit STEM option available and information can be  obtained in the File Cabinet or to the                                                                               left under Extra Credit.
