Fridays are a busy day in science because it is "lab day". The 5th grade girls went with a volunteer to complete an experiment dealing with how our body breaks down protein. Supplies for this trial included pepsin powder, gelatin, and hydrochloric acid.
The 6th graders spent their "lab day" looking at leaf specimens taken from a variety tress/plants in the Yankton area. Their task was to determine a classification system for these leaves. All were successful in that goal. As a side note, the 6th graders thought they would try to guess the origins of each leaf ~ not too successful on that endeavor. A couple really stumped them!
