Scientists Don't Say 'Ewwww'......

Kindergarten Scientists informed Mr. Greevy today that "Scientists don't say, Ewwww..."

Schick Scientists were making bricks as part of the FOSS unit, Pebbles, Sand, and Silt , students made bricks with Mr. Wayne Sheppard and his students from PCT majoring in construction management. First grade students have been learning about earth materials ranging in size from silt to boulders. Students have screened rocks by size and learned the different characteristics of rocks. Yesterday students were making their own bricks using clay, straw and water. Mr. Sheppard explained about the differences in bricks and how bricks are made in factories.
Kindergarten students were planting seeds, observing fish and frogs in their natural environments, hatching chicks, and feeding earthworms.....(don't say "Ewwwww.....").
Third Graders were making Goop, making weather vanes and discussing climate.
