Celebrate science

Dr. Samuelson talks about a chest xray.

Ryan, Aliyah and Chloe examine an xray of a lizard.

Thanks to Dr. Samuelson for helping kick off science week today. As a radiologist, Dr. Samuelson shared with the class how he uses science every day in his career. He showed the class numerous examples of xrays and explained how xrays work. We are looking forward to multiple events in the coming two weeks, including other guest doctors, a visitor from USGS talking about coastal erosion, and hands-on activities one morning next week. We officially began our celebration last week with Mrs. Jotch's junior kindergarteners visiting our classroom and participating in an experiment with us. Next week, Mrs. Owen's students will teach us a lesson about our solar system. We cannot wait!
