4/20

Over this past week students really took a step into the two domains of Archaea and Bacteria.  We went over some various differences along with a few similarities both of these domains and their kingdoms share.  Additionally this week, students were placed on a mission to find bacteria around the school.  They designed their own lab starting with a question.  On Friday the students took their various samples and placed them into their petri dishes.  All members of the staff at Lakeview are eager to see the results the young scientists in the 7th grade will find!
At this time, I am very impressed with the questions the students came up with for the lab.  Students are beginning to realize that bacteria do in fact live all around us, whether they are harmful or helpful.  I think a lot of the students will really be surprised with the results!
