Our marvelous students analyzing sediment samples!

STEAM Day

On October 30, we had a classroom STEAM Day that consisted of Science, Technology, Engineering and Collaboration. Congratulations to our Challenge winners TEAM 1!

Competition of Plants for Sun, Water and Air

Today we started a lab that analyzes two different types of plants competing for resources.

Eco- Tour

Last week we took an Eco- Tour on the trails that connect our school with the public library in search of producers, consumers and decomposers.

Welcome 15-16 School Year

Welcome to Mrs. Currie's Cool Class. I love teaching 6th Grade and am so excited to meet you! I have been teaching in Bedford since 2006. I have two amazing kids and a really cool dog! I play and coach hockey in my free time! Please tell me about yourself in the comments. See you next week!

Readers Activity

Students who had all of their AR Points for the year completed, had the opportunity to make Bird Houses. Nice work!

Homemade Thermometers

Today we made thermometers. Due to heat transferred from our hands the molecules of water moved apart and caused the water in our thermometers to expand.

Food Science

For our Energy Unit we have incorporated some fun food science. Check out our photos of Ice Cream in a Bag (Heat Transfer and Chemical Energy) as well as Solar Ovens (Radiant Heat Transfer, Thermal Energy). Plus we enjoyed the snack!

Our New Class Pet!

adopt your own virtual pet!

March is Reading Month

Science- Magnetic Earth

Nice work to Joshua, Sareena and Sylvia for making a hand made compass and presenting it in class.

Glacial Abrasion Lab.

Here are some photos from our Glacial Abrasion Lab. We used ice with sediments and soap (that acted like our land) to show have glaciers can change the way our Earth looks.

Updates from Science- Glacier Models

This week we created glacier models that illustrated how glaciers erode sediments and weather Earth. We also saw how melting and refreezing causes glacial plucking.
