Florence Chapel Middle School

Mr.Ebaugh's 7th grade science students conducted a hands-on lab investigation to answer the question: What are the important non-living characteristics of a habitat? From there, they took it a step further by designing their own experiments to determine which materials create the best habitat for black worms. 🪱

March Madness… but make it geography 🌍🏀 Mrs. Howard’s students created their own brackets based on global data, predicting outcomes using latitude, population, land area, and currency value compared to the U.S. dollar. The real competition came with fact-checking their latitude bracket using atlases and seeing who comes out on top!
