6th grade scientists are discussing different properties of minerals; one of the properties is fluorescence. Besides some minerals, the students soon realized that their clothing, hair, and teeth would show fluorescence under a black light.
Sixth grade students recently read informational texts on the Alaskan Serum Run of 1925. They then worked in small groups to create news segments from the 1925 perspective on weather, sports, human interest, animal interest, health and traffic reports related to the event. Their creativity and collaborative spirits had a chance to shine!
