The Cannery 3803 Toulouse St New Orleans, LA Patron Party: 6:30 PM Gala: 7:30 - 10:00 PM Science Learners Through Hands-On Tests
In Ms. Jones 6th and 7th grade science class, students have been learning about matter, particles of matter, the law of conservation, and scientific practices. Recently, students completed a lab experiment putting the scientific practices they learned into action.
Students had 5 stations to visit and prove that matter exists even when it can’t been seen. Students also had lab sheets and recorded, tested and proved that matter and science is used everyday through experimentation and observations. Station 1 students used vinegar and baking soda to create a chemical reaction showing when two substances are mixed together and a new bond is form (gas), which caused the balloon to blow up . Students can prove that matter is still present by weighing all objects. |

Station 2 students mixed fizzy tablets and water and enclosed it into plastic containers to make gas rockets. Students mixed ingredients together to prove once gas molecules move farther apart when tightly packed together causing the container to pop.
Station 3 students had lemonade ice cubes and had to time how long it took for the solid to turn into a liquid. Students also had to form a hypothesis to see how long will it take the liquid to turn back into a solid.
Station 4 students used what they have learned about science with an egg drop experiment. Science and engineering are all about testing, revising, and trying again. Students designed, built, and tested an egg protection device. If the egg cracked or didn’t was the measure to see if their hypothesis was correct and they had to explain their results. Students had to prove or disprove their hypothesis and test and retest to prove that their product worked.
In the end, the students were able to see science in action and really enjoyed themselves while doing it!

It's Drop Everything And Read (DEAR) Season |
As part of the Enrichment after-school Program, the GSS PK and K students were recently enchanted by a presentation from "Wind in my Feathers." Ms. Sally taught the students about the birds, their feathers, and their eggs. She then showed the students an owl, vulture, falcon, and many others. The students were so excited to see the birds flap their wings! It was quite an experience to see these beautiful birds up close. Thank you for visiting GSS!

It's DEAR Season at GSS and everyone on campus is participating. Drop Everything And Read (DEAR) is a new program to GSS started by Dr. Nichols to advance the enjoyment of reading. Students and staff entered the building and simply read a book of their choosing for the first 30 minutes of the day. This program will continue on set dates throughout the school year.
