Highlights from March

March is supposed to be a long month, but it wasn't long enough for me to get to my blog!  We were busy in 5R!  I think the best highlight for everyone was following the Iditarod dog sled race.

March Science Fun!
While studying the geosphere we completed some pretty cool 
experiments (some of them edible).  It's no wonder why
the students love science so much!
How does a volcanic eruption affect the geosphere?

Watch out for that lava!

This "eggs-periment" showed movement
of tectonic plates.
