Students Explore the International Space Exhibition

Grade 7 traveled through space exploration history to visit the International Space Exhibition currently at Millenaris Budapest.  With photo buddies, students explored over 100 exhibits, artifacts, and displays taking pictures and reading for information to successfully complete a scavenger hunt.  Students hunted for information about the Russian-American Space Race, the History of NASA, and the International Space Station.  After our trip through space history, grade 7 burned off some energy with bowling, pizza and a little bit of shopping. The pictures will be used in a science project focusing on the connections between science, technology, and engineering.   

Catch It If You Can

Grade 7 students experienced all 5 Habits of Learning in an advisory competition. On January 27, each advisory built a device to launch a ping pong ball and a device to catch a ping pong ball.  A strict set of materials were used.  The real test will be on Wednesday, February 3-competition day- when grade 7 advisories will compete against each other. Who will win this competition?

ROME DAY 2015

"Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears!" 

ROME DAY 2015! 

As an end to our Rome unit, seventh grade participated in the fifth annual "Rome Day" celebration. Patricians, plebeians, legionaries and slaves alike attended the Colosseum for theatre, the Circus Maximus for chariot racing, joined the Roman navy for ship building, and tested ancient math through the use of Roman numerals. The day ended with a feast of delicacies and the Thieves of Ostia movie. What great attire and enthusiasm from this group!

Science Students Inquire and Design their Own Experiments

Fifth Annual Roman Technology Museum

Halloween Day ROMAN TECH STYLE!

Grade Seven Humanities students have been studying Roman technologies (innovations, inventions, and architecture) to understand the needs, the lasting significance, and the influence of ancient Rome. For the last few weeks they have been practicing research skills such as finding credible sources, using proper citations, and paraphrasing information. Today in our Roman Museum, they showed off their knowledge through their models, timelines, and questions.
