Memorial Day
"Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices."
~President Harry Truman
The Science of Balloon Inflation
These huge plastic bags look as if they would take a looooonnng time to inflate.
How many breaths do you think it would take to fill them?
Today, we used Bernoulli's principle to fill these 8 foot long balloons in just 1 breath!
When you blow one breath straight down the middle of these balloons, your moving breath creates a stream of low-pressure air, which pulls air from the room into the bag with your breath.
You have experienced this principle. Have you ever been on the side of the road when a big bus or truck sped by? You probably felt the rush of air that the vehicle was pulling along with it. Your breath acts in the same way. It pulls some of the room air with it, so that you are able to fill the entire bag with only one breath.
We even had some time to have a big balloon fight :-)
Happy Mother's Day!
Way back on April 25th, the students planted sunflower seeds. Now the plants are ready to go home.
This morning, the cups were adorned with ribbon and hand-made tags.
Please remember to pick up your gift this afternoon.
Check below for a description of the Mammoth Grey Stripe sunflower and planting instructions.
These sunflowers are the most iconic of all the classic sunflowers. They are really rewarding to grow. Mammoth Greys grow to a towering 9-12 feet and the blooms are between 10 and 12 inches across.
Replant in a large sunny area with at least 24 inches of space around it.
Enjoy!

What a Surprise! by Destiny
The brown, cardboard box was on my doorstep when I was leaving for school. It must have arrived during the night. A note was attached to the mystery box. It said that I could not open it until I got home from school. When I got home from school, I opened the box and a cute baby puppy came out. He was white with black spots. We bought him a red collar and named him Rover. After we named him, we put his name on his new collar. We bought him food and treats. We also bought him a large bed. When we got home from the store, we played ball with him. Even though we bought him his own bed, he likes to sleep with me.
What a Surprise! by Jessica
The brown, cardboard box was on my doorstep when I was leaving for school. It must have arrived during the night. A note was attached to the mystery box. It said that I could not open it until I got home from school. I went to school then after I arrived home, I took it inside and I opened it carefully. Out popped a cute little puppy. It was black and white and right away, I named it Buster. My mom I went to the store and got him a collar and got toys. When we got home he was very happy. My mom forgot the food bowls so Mom got an old bowl out of the kitchen to feed Buster. We played ball together for 20 minutes before it was time for bed. He slept with me in my big, warm bed.
