What+is+going+on+in+Mrs.+Prestons+room+today

Here at Hoover Elementry school (2008-2009) science is important to the 6th graders but why? well for one their science teacher Mrs.Preston has new and improved ways of teaching science besides reading out of the books. One of the projects they did was earth modles. the earth modles were to help see what the students knew about the inside of the earth turns out they knew alot!. As they went more in to the year they learned that the there was something in the earth called the Lithosphere and the Athenesphere Shelbi Says" I think it was cool and intresting cause you only learn the basics in 1-5 and then in 6th grade the say that there is something in the earth called The Lithosphere and Athenasphere so I thought that was intresting to learn"

A new subject they are working on is poulltion. Roni Christensen says, "I think that we are making a good example of what happens to the earth when we dump stuff that dosen't belong in the earth". Their poultion expereiments will be on little cabbage plants. I think the main point is to see how chemicals can get in to the dirt and into the plants and most importantly how it gets in to are water system. in the process of doing their projects they sure do make a good point.

The very recent one they are foucsing on is boyancy. To help that stick into their minds the built tin foil boats they learned the more boyancy it has the more easy it floats. This involved Displacement, Volume and Bouancy. Well thats all for today.
