Weather Movies Winter 2014 Villa678Science (playlist)

Below is a private/unlisted YouTube playlist with some of the weather movies that the middle school science students made this winter.

It took a few tries for me to find a way to share these with all of you, but here is the start of the list.

The videos run the full range of short and sweet to long and detailed to very funny and creative.

Please check this playlist over the next few weeks as I add more of the videos from the school iPads.

Enjoy!

Something for our digestion project...

Bird digestion...
     My brother took this at Salisbury Beach, there has been an abundance of Snowy Owls at the beach this winter. He told me that the owl ate this mole, or mouse, in one gulp.

SWCole contest videos 6th and 7th grades

Although we did not win any of the prizes this year, both grades asked if I could post their videos.

The goal this year was to interview someone in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math fields, asking several questions related to their job.

The sixth grade chose to interview Nurse Lea and the seventh grade choose to interview people over a timeline.

Enjoy.
