Sept 15-19

This is going to be a busy week.  We have our assignments that are coming fast and furiously, volleyball teams set (A and B teams), cross country, and a presentation all this week.

For science this week we have a fun inquiry based learning experience for the students.  We are going to do an egg drop experiment and connect via Twitter with other schools this week.   You can follow the feed #rpseggdrop to see what other schools and classrooms are doing with this experiment.

The supplies the students will be using for this experiment will be:

egg

straws (10)

masking Tape 3 metres

1 grocery bag

egg carton (2-egg section)

1 balloon

popsicle sticks (10)

elastic bands (10)

Each group will have one science class period to begin building their contraption (egg basket).  After that we do not have a switch day until Friday which will be our drop day.  The students are more than welcome to come before school (8:00 a.m.), over lunch hour, or after school (until 4:30) with their group to finish building their egg basket.
