hard at work

welcome to science 8. here's a little glimpse of what it's like to teach science 8 at my middle school. on halloween we made skeletons out of milk jugs and then hung them around the classroom. we've begun to study body systems now, and hopefully we'll add a little more to these "brilliant" creations over the next few weeks. i spent four blocks supervising the construction of these beasts (two blocks per division) and while i can't believe that it constituted a science class, it was a pretty fun day.

take a look...

adding a paper clip spine - they just had to have those bonus marks

me (dressed as pippi longstocking) hard at work explaining the inner workings of plastic skeletons to two of my students (oh how i love my job!)
