Science Projects

Sc8: Mix and Flow of Matter (View Full Size)	Separating Mixtures: This fishbone diagram organizes and lists the ideas and methods of separating mixtures.
Sc8: Mix and Flow of Matter (View Full Size)	Fluid Systems: This mind map lays out the various aspects related to fluid systems.
Sc8: States of Matter (View Full Size) Prediction	Mix and Flow of Matter: Students study the three common states of matter (plasma is not studied) and the conversions between the states. In the picture students are converting a liquid into a gas, that is they are boiling water and discovering that despite the addition of more heat the temperature of the boiling water remains constant.
Sc7: Structures and Forces (View Full Size) Towers Bridges Catapult	Building Challenges: Students are presented with building challenges and unusual building materials to accomplish the task. Working in groups the students then apply and discover the underlying concepts in structure, design and forces.
SC8: Cells and Systems (View Full Size) Inflating Lungs	Hearts and Lungs: Students examine close-up the organs animals (available from local butcher shop) focusing on form, function and similarities (between differing species).
Sc8: Mechanical Systems (View Full Size.) Building a protective case. Eggsactly Egg drop fail	Egg Drop: Problem solve, pan and implement a design that will allow the egg to land safely when dropped from a height.
Sc8: Mechanical Systems (View Full Size) Video	Mechangical Systems: Prediction and experimentation using Menthos and Diet Coke.
Sc7 Interactions and Ecosystems (View Full Size) Polar Under the sea Coniferous forest Deciduous forest Alien planet Temperate Forest Electronic Potato Winter Jungle Tropical reef Night Spiders Prairie	Potato Creature: Adaptations of a potato creature that would allow them to blend in with their environment.
