Science Test

FYI...On Friday, May 15, students will be taking a science test on the weather unit we have been studying.  Students have a study guide that we went through in class, and they can use this quizlet to study the vocabulary as well.

Ocean Currents

Students spent this last week studying ocean currents.  They learned that warm water is less dense and tends to rise, and cold water is more dense and tends to sink.  This plays a major role in why ocean currents exist.  Below are a few pictures of the students in action.

Local Meteorologist Making a Visit

On Thursday, May 7th, Meteorologist Steve Beylon of Action 2 News will be visiting PCMS to speak with the 6th grade students.  The 6th graders have been studying weather patterns in their Catastrophic Events unit.  Power House students recently completed a weather journal to help them become more familiar with the weather report during the local news.  Many of you probably noticed your son or daughter working on this last week.
