Some wins. Some losses. Lots of fun. Plenty of room to grow before next month.

SCIA chess team is here! We are competing in our first chess tournament in Fresno to day. Wish us luck.

I don't know. The college window contest was today. My Nebraska window lost to Notre Dame. You be the judge.

I had a wonderful time with students and families on Saturday. We released 590 tadpoles and spent quality time with nature and each other exploring the Springville area. #SCIAJourney #SCIABears #whateverittakes #everydaymatters #itsalifestyle #striveforgreatness #SCIAStrong

Using a card game in class today to model the random changes in a population due to natural selection. #whateverittakes #TIMETOSHINE #SCIAStrong

Experimenting with forces and motion with homemade hovercrafts. #timetoshine #sciabears #sciaproud

I matter because I get the chance to share what I know about science with so many wonderful kids who want to learn. #BeThe1To

More from today.....

Great day for releasing the tadpoles. Thanks to the students and families who shared the experience. Special thanks to Miss Becky for your support and good eyes. #sciabears #bsdproud #whateverittakes

Yeah! After a month of waiting, we finally got frog eggs laid. You can already see them developing. #sciastrong #burtonproud #sciabears #WhateverItTakes

WOW!! The power of kids!

If only that much energy went into fighting Covid back in March. Just saying.......

Time for the pendulum lab!! Students make their own at home. Does the length affect how fast it swings? #SCIAstrong #WhateverItTakes #SCIAjourney #SCIAbears

Science doesn’t take a summer vacation! Now is the time to look at the comet NEOWISE before it’s gone. Go out around 10 pm and look to the northwest. It will be straight down from the Big Dipper. Binoculars help. It looks like a bright spot with a very long tail. Have fun!
