Sienna and Moira are working together on a slide show about the country of Djibouti. When they present their slide show they are going to bring in banana fritters which are a popular treat in Djibouti. A fact that Moira finds particularily surprising is that the average lifespan of a person in Djibouti is only 43! Sienna said she was really interested in finding out that the country only gets five inches of rain each year!
Also working on a research project about a particular country is Taylor. Taylor is studying Paraguay. She wanted to learn more about a country in South America that she didn't know much about. She is particularily interested in finding out more about the national foods of Paraguay. Taylor already discovered that the people of Paraguay enjoy many of the same sports as we do-like soccer, basketball and tennis. When she is done with her research Taylor will be sharing what she learned with a slideshow and poster. We are all looking forward to finding out more about Paraguay!
Zach who is in sixth grade is making an electric generator out of magnets and wire. He has discovered it is a lot harder than he imagined! Zach has been working hard on making models and revisions of his plan. He even took apart an old computer hard drive to get to a super strong magnet inside. He hopes that with some tweaking of materials and designs he will be lighting up the Falcon's Nest in no time.
Sara is experimenting with acne products. Did you know that chocolate and greasy food do not make you develop acne? When Sara is done with her research she is going to compare some popular acne treatments and report on her findings. We can't wait to find out what she discovers.
More updates will be coming soon...
