Update on the Cell Models
Students are finished assembling their cells. They have begun recording their audio in Scratch. Students are connecting their cell models to the makey makey with wires to complete the circuit. Finally, they are programming Scratch to coordinate with the remapped makey makey.

Family Fun Science Night on Earth Day
For our first Family Fun Science Night, we set up five stations to rotate through: Slow moving slime, circuits using playdough and LEDs, Marshmallow structures, newspaper architecture and Moon Landing Engineering Challenge.
Many families came and enjoyed spending the evening together with science.

Building cell models using modeling dough
Science students are working in small groups to research organelles and building a three dimensional cell model using modeling dough. We want to hook them up to the makeymakey to create an interactive display. The modeling dough is a bit stickier than we expected. We are using plastic and styrofoam containers because they won't be conductive.

Cell Model Shrinky Dinks
Inspired by Got to Teach, SCIENCE! students drew scale models of animal and plant cells in Sharpie on Shrinky Dink plastic today. Soon, we will put them in the oven to shrink and be made into jewelry to study from...
