Halloween Dress Up Day

6th grade scientists in Mrs. Cattell’s class were able to explore creating synthetic materials from natural materials. They used sodium alginate (seaweed) and calcium chloride (limestone), combined them to create a polymer “worm.” Special thanks to Mrs. Webster for helping.

Mr. Crumps industrial arts class enjoys the beautiful weather as they create bird house, cutting boards and serving trays!

With the help and guidance of Mrs Coleman, Officer Robinson, Mr. Smith and Mr. Ward take on bee keeping!

Eighth grade science students are currently studying climate change and the ways scientists find data to show how conditions have changed over time. One way is by studying tree rings from trees that are several years old. The tree cross section the students studied is from a branch of a tree that is over 120 years old. Students counted the rings and found that the branch was between 70-80 years old. They also identified wide spaces between rings which show wet, rainy seasons and thin rings which show dry seasons. They learned that many Sequoia trees are over 3000 years old and provide scientists with centuries of data.

6th Grade Scientists are bringing home a bouncy ball that they made in science class!
Linda Heineman from Greenup County Extension Office and Lisa Osborne from Greenup County Farm Bureau helped Mrs. Cattell with a lab. The students used some natural resources (from corn) and created a polymer- a bouncy ball! It was so much fun! …and a special thanks to Mrs. Webster for helping out with the afternoon classes! 🖤💛

Students in Mrs. Caudill's Digital Literacy made their own designs and printed them to T-shirts! We have some really cool new Bulldog logos!
