6th Grade investigated different cereal options this week-collecting data on ingredients, protein, and carbohydrate content from nutrition labels. Students then organized the data and drew conclusions about health and connections between the cereals. We have been studying the Agricultural Revolution in I&S, and how for the first time humans have a stable food supply, containing grains. We also had a few samples of cereal!

8th graders are wrapping up their unit on The Chemistry of Materials.They acted as materials engineers and evaluated 4 different proposals for greener computer choices for a school district to choose. They analyzed the different stages in the life cycle of the computers and presented their findings. Great job! 6th grade added their thoughts to the IB Learner Profile bulletin board for the Month of October. Being as Enthusiastic as Cookie Monster they added speech bubbles to his image to express their thoughts about how art can express different ideas by the way it is drawn even if the subject is the same.

They determined why it's invasive, how it impacts its environment, and concerns moving forward if nothing is done to remove the species. They acted as ecologists who presented the information to the Department of Natural Resources and stated whether or not they should take action to remove the species from its environment by weighing the tradeoffs involved. They did an amazing job and were very informative! On Friday, the 6th grade class journeyed to Covenant Harbor in Lake Geneva, WI for a day of adventure and risk-taking on a high ropes course and zipline! All students set goals for themselves and worked to achieve them on the various obstacles they encountered. Teachers, chaperones, and students encouraged each other as they climbed the big rock wall to get to the zip line. It was no easy task! It was a great day of team building!
