Biology students are entering the world of the very small. Today students worked to move through several cell satations: microscope identification of plant and animal cells, identification of organells using models, understanding mitochondrial disorders, and creating their own story about a cell as if it were a city.

One more Rare award today. This award is this young man's 3rd award. He is doing an amazing job this year. He earned it for being empathetic. He helped a classmate after he fell down playing soccer. He checked on the soccer player and helped him up. What a kind young man.
I handed out a RARE award at lunch today. Another adult observed this young man in the lunch line. Another student pushed his way in front of him. He was angry but he kept his cool and did not retaliate. That took a lot of self-control and responsibility. When I was told about this incident, I was very impressed.

Challenge 2: (The boys) Determine the percent water composition of the best popping popcorn given three different brands. (Lots of math, they like that!) 😊
