Science Update

By -
We have had an exciting week in Science! The 7th graders have been learning about Potential and Kinetic Energy. To gain a better grasp of the concept, they performed a Roller Coaster lab activity. On Friday, they had the chance to design their own roller coaster! On Monday, we will have other groups try to recreate each others roller coasters. Below is a group of kids working hard on their design!


The 8th graders have been learning about Ionic and Covalent Bonds. This has included referring to the Periodic Table and drawing a number of Lewis Dot Structures of their compounds. Below two students are working on the Lewis Dot structure of a specific compound on the Smart Board. 


Earlier in the week, to kick off Advent, the school was split into Faith Families lead by 8th graders. Each family consisted of members of various other grade levels. It was a great way for the older students to get to know the younger students. Excellent feedback was heard from young and old alike. Below are two Faith Family groups!



Have a great weekend and stay warm!! Go Sporting!!

The 7th and 8th grade had the chance to hear from some of our students from last year! We talked a lot about being ready for high school and what skills would be helpful for our middle schoolers, regardless of what high school they choose. Thanks so much to our 9th graders for this great information! Feel free to talk to your child about what he or she learned.
