As you all know our poor little earth is warming and since the sun melts ice the water goes in the ocean making the sea levels rise. York 7 did an expedition about sea levels rising and waters getting warmer. This expedition shall be known as Warming Waters. York 7 worked to the bone from September all to way to January! Geez, that’s 4 months! The students worked on their computers on a program called Comic Life and they finally had their culminating event yesterday. When they had the culminating event they made a scavenger hunt for people such as parents of the students, Windsor 7 and the scientists Tim and Amy. The York 7 students proudly showed off their final products. What their final products are are professional-style posters that explain phytoplankton, the Gulf of Maine, climate change, water quality testing and data analysis. Every 10 minutes our emcee, Max, announced who was going to say the “Didja know?” fact. The students spoke a little fun fact and then when they were finished they rang a bell!
