Sorry about not posting last week. I was at a STEM symposium on the Bethel College campus. I met some nice people and made new connections. Hopefully it will result in some fun at PHMS.
The last two weeks have been spent working on atoms. We created a pyramid shaped graphic organizer with information on subatomic particles. The students thought the organizers looked like hats - thus, the "Hats of Atomic Knowledge"!

| Some students getting smarter thanks to the "hats." |

| Neutrons are what's left when you do subtraction. |
 |
| Are you sure that's how many protons there are? |
 |
| Neutrons and protons in the nucleus, electrons in the shells..... |
 |
| I think I get it! |
A low pressure front came through this week and the classroom barometer did a great job of demonstrating air pressure.
We'll be studying the periodic table next. I always enjoy sharing a few alternate forms that appear on the web. So look for some of those in the next post.
