PHOTO Galleries

 Students worked in teams to investigate Earthquakes, Faults, Tsunamis, and Volcanoes. Each team was assigned a web page on a Google Site website set up for the project. The page had to include a location map, a filled-out data chart, and an annotated photo gallery of pictures and videos.  

 Seventh grade social studies students in Karen Purdee's classes used their modeling skills to create replicas of famous buildings, landmarks, and objects of the Middle East. 

Sixth grade students in Connie Schneider's and Chris Meisel's classes created dioramas using modeling clay and cardboard. This project was a culminating activity after much research work on countries in South America, Africa, and Asia.

Using only plastic bottles for flotation, students were challenged to build a "boat" that could be raced the length of the pool. Awards were given for speed as well as style. This was a culminating event for the study of density.

 From 2010 to 2015 the destination was Toyon Bay on Catalina Island, better known as CIMI or Catalina Island Marine Institute. We spent 5 days at the camp. From 1992 to 2009 I took seventh grade students to Newfound Harbor Marine Institute on Big Pine Key in Florida for a marine biology adventure. Over 1000 students participated in this trip over the years.

First, choose someone famous. Then dress up as that character and memorize a short introductory statement. Put together a 3 panel board explaining your character. Finally, it's time for the show where other classes and parents come to visit the "Wax Museum" and learn about your character.
