7th Grade Life Science classes have constructed 3-D Cell Models! Students did a fabulous job. Each model had a key explaining what the student used to represent the organelles in their cell. Students work will be displayed somewhere in the school very soon! Be sure to take a peek at them!

Have you ever wondered how a ship made of steel can float? In this project you’ll investigate how much weight boat hulls of various shapes and sizes can support without sinking. You know from experience that if you drop a steel bolt in a bucket of water that it will sink like a rock to the bottom. On the other hand, you know that ships made of steel can float. How does it work? What determines whether an object floats or sinks?...
