This week two groups of students started out their science exploration with the use of microscopes. The two groups included the 7th grade students as well as Biology II.
For the 7th graders microscopes are a new piece of equipment that they have never used. They go through the different parts of the microscope and how to operate them. In 7th grade the slides are already focused for the students to save time. This year the 7th graders were lucky because we had many students absent the first day so each student had their own microscope. Additionally, the next day the students who had been absent also had their own microscopes for the lesson.
In Biology II the microscope activity was a little different. Being much more advanced students, they were expected to focus their own slides. Some found out they were a little rusty using microscopes. The biology students were looking at cell layer classifications as well as cell shape classifications.





Some of the Kindergartners are excitedly looking through the Zoobook magazines in the library.


The Mobridge/Pollock Tigers are coming to Eureka tonight to take on the North Central Thunder in volleyball starting at 4:00 PM. Here is a link to watch the game. http://play.keemotion.com/417/6624/0/4QNkJm.html
