Hi our fifth grade class did a science project so here is what we did.

1. First we got a cup of blue liquid.
2. Then we blew through a straw in the cup of blue liquid.
3. Then we wrote what color it changed. P.S it turned green.
4. Next we put a plant in a test tube and then we poured the green liquid in with the plant.
5. Then we put the green liquid in another test tube.
6. Then we let it sit in the sun for about 30-45 minutes.
7. When we got back we checked on the plant with the green liquid inside the test tube, the plant absorbed all the C02 and breathed out oxygen so it turned blue again.
That is what we did for our science project.

:)Cool right!!!!!!!!!!!:) :o

Hey listen up our planet needs your help! The majority of our environments are being destroyed. How can you help? Well you can help by recycling and helping plant more trees and other species of plants. There are so many ways you can help. Hey maybe you could walk to places instead of driving. Walking is better because you are not polluting or planet and you are helping yourself. If we don’t start doing soon or planet will slowly become a waste land. The reason for global warming is because we are polluting our planet and its causing the polar ice caps to melt. Witch can destroy the Antarctic environment which will slowly ruin ours. So please try to help our environment to become what it was made to be. So we are saying is help us out by using things that are more healthy for our world and your not just helping the world but your helping yourself and other people around you! Here why don’t you turn the lights off when you’re not using them? That saves so much energy! Hey instead of sitting on the couch watching TV go play and use your energy instead of the worlds!!! So just try and help us out and the world would give you something in return!

Buffalo Happenings

Last week we traveled to the Bison Range to watch the annual Round-Up. What an event! Marina came to help us create chalk drawings of bison which turned out great! We also participated in a creative problem solving activity where student groups had to figure out a way to save bison from a boxed canyon and airlift them to the safety of a corral using only specific supplies. Posted here are some pictures of the activities and art projects.
