The Maxwell Colony 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders have been studying a Science Unit about Earth’s Oceans. The students have learned about how much of our planet Earth is covered with water. To learn more about the oceans on earth, the students also did a unit on whales. They learned about the two different groups of whales which are toothed whales and baleen whales. The students learned some informational facts about all the different kinds of whales.
We did an experiment about how blubber keeps a whale warm using Crisco, ice, plastic baggies, and oven mitts. The students did other whale projects including artwork of their favorite whale. - Christa Buechler, Maxwell Colony teacher
