6th Grade Science

Yay! 6th through 8th grade are using a new science series this year that includes online and hands-on resources and activities. In these photos, students are simulating what it is like to be an ecologist who tracks a specific species, but we are using beans to represent the animals. Each bag contains 150 beans and 15 of those beans are marked. Following the procedures of the lab, students worked through the procedures of mark and recapture that involved several math skills including using a formula that ecologists use to estimate the size of a population.
