How can we hear sounds from across the room?

The current unit is about energy. Our phenomena for this guiding question was the sounds created from a needle and a vinyl record. We concluded that a sound source, waves, and an ear were necessary to experience this phenomena. We are looking into other sound sources and other ways that energy is transferred.

Dear Parents,

Students complete test corrections in math to correct mistakes and raise their test scores. They receive 1/2 point for each correction up to a total of 12 points. I encourage students to retake the quiz if their score is below 70 after corrections. I am noticing that many students are not doing the corrections properly and are not receiving additional credit. Please check your child’s quiz scores and have them attend an after school support class to get the help they need. I am having after school math support workshops on Thursdays 3-4 to help students in Math and Science.

Questions, comments, suggestions?

Sincerely,

Mr. Imrey

The carbon cycle

We had to grind up the shells before pouring vinegar into the bowl. We saw bubbles and heard a fizzing noise. The stored carbon in the shell was released and bonded with oxygen to form carbon dioxide gas.

Science

We have been busy learning measurement. Students had to convert milligrams, centimeters and meters. Their homework on 9/5 is to review the lab.

Welcome class of 2025!

We are looking forward to another great year at Taylor! The first week students will be introduced to group roles, think-pair share partners and lots of problem solving. Please remember to bring two notebooks (Math & Science), folders, kleenex, pencils, and pens.
