Burnaps and Hurleys Go To Court - Science Court
The students in Ms. Burnap's class and Ms. Hurley's class are learning about sound through participation in an interactive program called Science Court. Room 35 has an interactive whiteboard so students working with Ms. Hurley view a video presentation of a court case and follow-up with research and a small group discussion. The whole class then reconvenes to share responses, check their information interactively, and make a prediction about future outcomes.
When not attending Science Court with Ms. Hurley, students work with Ms. Burnap to use the scientific method of exploration. They conduct and analyze hands on recreations of the Science Court experiments and record the outcome in their science journals. Cooperative groups and partners work in their laboratory to determine what sound is and why we hear sound.
The interactive technology coupled with hands-on experimentation allows students to discover the principles of sound in a developmentally appropriate and engaging environment. When your child tells you they went to court - Science Court - that's a good thing.
