This week we will be researching information that will be pertinent to our building a solar oven next week. Students will look learn about reflection, absorption, and insulation as they research different designs for solar ovens. They might be coming home within the next few days with strange sounding requests for alluminum foil, cardboard boxes, etc. We will start building them next week and will test them (and hopefully make some s'mores) at the beginning of the next week.
We've also been finishing the zoo biome project that we started several weeks ago. Students will be typing a paragraph about the abiotic/biotic factors that need to be considered when designing a zoo enclosure for a particular animal. Then they will find a few pictures, and we'll paste them onto a "zoo" template in the classroom.
