Marv Dahmen visited our school earlier this year.   He told us about the most unusual residents of ancient Carl Junction.  Two complete mammoth skeletons were discovered in Carl Junction just after the turn of the 20th century.  They were exibited at the Worlds Fair in St. Louis.  Afterwards they mysteriously disappeared.  Flip through these slides as you listen to Marv tell the tale.

We watched our Wisconsin Fast Plants grow through all the stages of its life cycle.  Here is some of what we observed.  We also observed the water transport system of a plant by watching blue water change the color of red and pink flowers.  These can be found in our Photo Gallery.

This makes our 3rd podcast. Wow! We finished a hand-on inquiry- based science kit in which we planted Wisconsin Fast Plant seeds and observed them as they grew. The students learned a lot more details about the plants and flowers than ever before. It was a lot of fun and we learned a lot. Listen to find out the most important thing each student says they learned.
