Students in Mrs. Myers' 6th grade Science classes are conducting experiments to enhance their skills in group work procedures, learn about scientific methods and forces in motion! They are testing to see if Hot Wheels cars travel farther on different surfaces like carpet, cardboard, or desk tops. To test this, students are working on skills like: making a hypothesis; designing an experiment by controlling variables; collecting quantitative data by measuring distance; analyzing data to draw conclusions; and communicating results. Experiments like these allow our students to gain hands-on experience with the scientific method and improve skills like critical thinking, reasoning, and problem-solving. This activity leads into our upcoming forces and motion unit.

Students at Claxton Middle School were treated to a cool reward for their hard work this week. The school held a BAM (Behavior, Attendance, Missing Assignments) event to celebrate students who exhibited good behavior, perfect attendance, and no missing assignments. All students were invited to participate in an effort to encourage everyone to work hard and be at school everyday with good behavior and were surprised with refreshing snow cones from Kelipi and Palikona's Hawaiian Shave Ice truck during lunch. Flavors like Tiger's Blood and Blue Hawaiian put smiles on students' faces. The snow cones provided a sweet way to motivate students to be successful this school year. The BAM event was a refreshing boost to wrap up the week on a positive note. Students now have more incentive to keep up the good work in the weeks ahead.
