🔬 8th-grade scientists put natural selection to the test! 🐦
Our 8th-grade science students recently dove deep into the world of natural selection with the "Battle of the Beaks" lab! They explored how different "beaks" (represented by various utensils like forks, tweezers, and clothespins) are better suited for picking up different "food" sources (like beans, rice, and pasta).
This hands-on experiment allowed students to:
* Observe how variations in beak shape and size impact feeding efficiency.
* Simulate how environmental pressures can drive adaptations.

🗓️Cracking the code in Mrs. White's Class!🗓️
Our 7th graders put their problem solving skills to the test with a fun and challenging coding activity! Students in Mrs. White's class worked to create their own unique codes and messages before trading with their classmates to see if they could crack the code.
