Students performed many water tests to determine turbidity and measure dissolved oxygen. They also completed a filter activity to see how to purify water.
This is one of my former students Hannah Bradford. I taught Hannah in the 5th grade at Shawmut Elementary. Hannah now has a degree from Auburn University in Marine Biology. This week she was the teacher during our trip to the Floating Classroom on West Point Lake. So proud of Hannah!
It was a gorgeous day for a field trip. The students were able to participate in many activities on land and on the Floating Classroom. What a great learning resource!
5th Graders are participating in a unit on Forensic Science. Students enjoyed some tasty testing making impressions using sweet treats and then measuring and examining the evidence.
Point University student teachers Mendy and Wendy Webb visited the CCATS classroom to teach activities about the water cycle. It was a fun learning experience. Students will visit West Point Lake's Floating Classroom next week for more water experiments.
A HUGE THANK YOU to Jonas Walker and Mrs. Cynthia Gaither for donating the original Mouse Trap Game to our classroom. Students will study Rube Goldberg contraptions and will enjoy using this resource!
