Science

Students had the roller coaster quiz returned in class today.  We discussed the quiz and reviewed some of the earlier material on potential and kinetic energy today.  After our discussion/review, students were given a requiz to improve their scores.

The requiz will be returned to students tomorrow.  Students who scored a "W" or "level 2" on both quizzes are encouraged to follow up with me to improve their grade.  If you have any question as to how your student is doing, please email me at rdecicco@mymtsd-vt.org

Edible Car OR Rube Goldberg Machine

Dear 6th and 7th grade Parent/Guardian,

While the 8th graders are in Boston, 6th and 7th grade House A students will be working on one of two projects.  Students will either work on 1) an edible car or 2) a Rube Goldberg machine.  Students have identified which project appealed to their interest and will be granted their wish.  Please click on the above links to find out more about what they will be doing.

Students working on the edible car may need to purchase some food items for the project.  Please be economical!  Students working on the Rube Goldberg machine do not need to buy anything but may need to borrow some household items.  If anyone has any questions or concerns, please email Mr. DeCicco.
