We are nestled between Springfield and Clinton, in the Ozark mountains. We are the 'big town' in our county since we have Wal-Mart and restaurants, but we are a far cry from big city life! We have about 200 students per grade level and they are from urban and rural communities extending about 30 miles around Bolivar, Missouri. We have a lot of farms, a large medical facility, and a college.
Our students have spent most of their life in Bolivar, Missouri so we work hard to bring the world to our students.
We have Chromebooks and that helps a lot! Thank you, Google, for bringing awesome, free apps to education! Our whole district is in the process of innovating our curriculum and my students and I take the first leaps in trying new technology.
My students have built websites, created their own blogs, learned to program science review games, produced class videos, designed and completed passion projects - all in the name of science! We consider ourselves to be leaders in our school and we are always excited to learn something new!
My Project
My students will be learning about the states of matter and their behaviors while we enjoy actual examples of them in the form of ice cream and icees.
We will study the energy differences, particle density and particle movements during the phase changes.
Students will create abstract pieces of art to demonstrate their understanding and we will then celebrate the art show with ice cream and icees.
Students will create diagrams that show the representative particle movement during phase changes and will draw images to represent the distance between particles in the solid, liquid and gaseous phases of matter. Thank you.
