Science: Skeletal System








Mr. Bones visited the classroom and the
students were able to get an up close look
at the many bones that make up our body.







We learned that the skull protects the brain, the ribcage protects the lungs, and the spinal column protects the nerves. Did you know that the spinal column is made of 33 bones?





Presented with the challenge of finding the names of the bones of a skeleton, the students worked with a partner on an iPad to correctly label each bone.











Second Grade Pen Pals

It was a very exciting day when the HCA Second Graders received their first pen pal letter from the Second Graders at Holy Child School at Rosemont. The students replied with a letter to their new friends and sent along Halloween wishes too.





Using Halloween stickers, the students created a special scene to send to their pen pals.




How do you like our Halloween scenes?

Science: Simple Machines In science class the students have been learning about the six types of simple machines: screw, lever, inclined plane, wedge, wheel and axle, and pulley. After learning about inclined planes, the students were given the challenge to create an inclined plane so that a car at the top of a box could travel down the ramp and continue rolling.                               First the students discussed what classroom materials to use to create the inclined plane.
