Mrs. Sumsion's students had fun exploring microorganisms today as they rotated through six centers.  1. Making flip books showing how microorganisms move. 2. Watching a video of microscopic pond life and identifying it on a master diagram. 3. Looking under microscopes at prepared slides. 4. Creating their own germs (drawings & explanations). 5.  Searching for answers to questions in a science magazine on cells. 6. Labeling and color coding a microscope diagram.

Lovette Marchbanks, representative from United Way of Utah County (Everyday Learners Initiative) was at the first two hours of SEP Conferences.  She offered each student a free book. Parents were given information about reading together everyday.  Parents are children's most important teacher!

Our annual science fair was held today where 6th graders and some invited 5th graders were able to demonstrate how they applied the scientific method to a unique problem or question. Students were judged by volunteers from BYU, our community and Questar. (Big thanks!!) Ten students' scores qualified them to advance to the district fair held later this month. The teachers were very impressed with the students' hard work and scientific thinking. Students from the ALC also demonstrated their scientific thinking with puzzle cubes.
