WE NEED YOU!
The CBL health and fitness group is working with the City of Parks and Recreation to create a commercial to advertise the Bcycles and visiting downtown Clarksville. We will be filming on Saturday March 11. We would like to have others participate in the filming of the commercial. If you and your family want to join in on the fun please contact Mrs Hardison at nhardison@clarksvilleacademy.com.
Science Lab
Third graders noted temperature ranges as they continue their study of weather and weather instruments. They also received their Bonnie Plant Cabbage sprouts, and information about a nationwide contest that they can choose to enter from home. The contest rules and guidelines can be accessed online, and participants/entries are also submitted online.
Second grade concludes their study of Water Habitats. We created a pond using local pond water. We added animals and insects related to pond life. We tested water quality using Project WET supplies, from a recent workshop. Due to our extremely warm weather we were even able to see some larval stage invertebrates.
First graders begin their study of Matter. We examined the properties of Solids, Liquids, and Gases. We placed capsules in our liquids, and observed their expansion.
3rd Grade
Third grade is soaring as they learn about Weather & Clouds. Students create a Clouds Poster and identify types of Clouds, their appearance, location in the sky & what kind of weather they bring.
Students in third grade are anxiously awaiting their arrival of a clutch of chicks!!! They observed and tested to see if the eggs were winners, yolkers, or quitters. This technique is known as candling. The students were enthralled and excited about their discovery!
