Niagra Falls!

This morning we strapped ourselves in, made sure we had our parachutes, and took a helicopter ride over Niagara Falls. Students learned that 3,000 tons spill over the falls every minute! We learned about daredevils who have gone over the falls in "barrels". This lead us to a great discussion about the physics off falling and velocity. Students can't wait to get started on their egg drop containers!

Please don't forget to send in supplies for Friday's project. The egg drop will be held at 2:30 pm on Friday.

In Science, students presented their 5 senses projects on Mexico, Canada, and the United States. In Social Studies, students completed their passport to the world projects.

Next week we will be moving on to South America!!!
