5th graders were able to practice their coding skills with the Ozobots. The Ozobot follows lines drawn on white paper. Colors drawn in different sequences tell the Ozobot what to do. Our students had a great time creating their own codes for the Ozobots.
Great work 5th grade!

Do you know how to calculate the density of a liquid? (Density = mass/volume)
The sixth grade science students first learned how to find the mass of a liquid so they then could calculate the density of the liquid. After all calculations were complete, they poured the liquids into a beaker and checked to see if the way the liquids layered matched their calculations.
They did! Excellent calculations!

7th grader Aftyn Dietrick created the winning pixel art for the second semester at Sheldon Middle School. As a winner, her art was then enlarged into a mural that will hang in the Middle School.
Aftyn and and number of seventh graders worked together to enlarge and transfer the grid, match colors, and paint every square. The team included Ana Chavez-Morales, Estrella Chavez-Morales, Justina Van Regenmorter, Lesly Ramos-Morales, Addisyn Kavanagh, and Bailey Harn.

SCHEDULE UPDATE:
Middle School Boys and Girls Track @ Storm Lake on May 9th will now be a 4:00 PM start for field events, with running events to begin at 4:30.
The sixth grade students were given four mystery liquids and had to test the chemical property of flammability. They dipped strips of paper into each of the four mystery liquids and then held the strip of paper over an open flame. As you can see in the pictures, they were surprised to find that one of the liquids was flammable!!!!

6th graders explored the densities of water and cooking oil.
They measured predetermined volumes of each liquid, poured them into jars, made observations, shook them for two minutes and then let them settle for ten minutes to see if the liquids would separate back into two layers.
