Floating S's

Today in Science 7, students learned a little about Skittles. 

Skittles are made out of sugar, which dissolves easily in water. 

What doesn't dissolve so easily in water is...edible ink!

Can you see the floating "S's?"

Adaptations

Science 7 students learned how valuable their opposable thumbs are to them!

Trying to tie their shoes with no thumbs!

Microscopes!

Science 7 students learned the parts of a microscope and got to observe fascinating slides today. 

San Diego Zoo

Science 7 students went on a virtual field trip this week to the San Diego Zoo. They studied the characteristics of organisms in the Animal kingdom to better understand the diversity of animal life.

Comments from the students were: "I never knew that animal existed! and "This is so cool! I can't wait to spend more time at home learning about this!"

Here are a few pictures from our "trip."
