6th Grade Science –
This week, we’ll be focusing on our heat, temperature, and thermal energy unit. We’ll continue to explore the topic of thermal energy in discussions, activities, and experiments over the course of the week. On Wednesday during class, students will begin building model homes for our thermal energy home heating project.  Our goal is to design and construct a model home that will conserve thermal energy; we’ll be testing out our models on Friday, November 9th. Parents – If you are willing and able to donate any lab supplies for our upcoming project, this isn’t mandatory, but it is certainly appreciated. Please see my previous blog post (dated Saturday, November 3rd) for details.
Homework –
11/5 – Finish your Builder’s Notebook blueprints & designs (Step 1-3) and bring in any donated lab materials on Wednesday.
11/6 – No School Today – No homework! 🙂

This week, we’ll be kicking off our Modeling & Design unit, where students will be challenged to use drafting, architectural, and design skills to transform images from two-dimensional sketches to three-dimensional models. We’ll be creating thumbnail sketches, isometric drawings, and multi-view images to learn more about perspective and the world of engineering and drafting.

Hello, STEM Middle School families!

On Wednesday, November 7th, our 6^thgrade scientists will begin working on a thermal energy project that will require a handful of supplies. If you’re willing and able to donate any of these items to Miss Roberts’ classroom, we would greatly appreciate it!

Home Heating Efficiency Project
Materials:

• Elmer’s white liquid glue
• Scotch tape
• Popsicle sticks
• Cotton balls
• White or lined paper

Also, with cold season upon us, we’re always collecting these items to keep our students healthy and our classroom clean:

• Kleenex
• Hand sanitizer
• Clorox Disinfecting Cleaning Wipes

Thank you so much for all of your help and support!
