Students have been busy in Science! We've dissected sheep eyes, had an outdoor education field trip on animal signs led by MTU, performed a blood typing lab, and tested out an experiment about the force Earth experiences while spinning on its axis!

3rd grade ended the week with a field trip focusing on winter birds led by Tom Oliver, Director of Science & Environmental Outreach. We learned why birds stay, why they leave, and what they eat. They enjoyed finding the birds hiding in the trees!

The 4th grade had a great field trip with Tom Oliver of Michigan Tech’s Center for Science & Environmental Outreach! The class learned what material insulates the best and what yellow birch tastes like. 😊 A big thank you goes to Tim Makela for the use of his trails!
