Volcano Experiment

Community Service = Diamondbacks

All 6th graders from our district had to do 5 hours of community service in order to go to a Diamondbacks game. Here is a list of some of the things that students did...

• Read books to kids to expand literacy


• Helped other kids with homework


• Cleaned yards to beautify the community


• Cooked for a family member


• Served food at a shelter


• Cleaned the park


• Made crosses to donate to a church


• Made cards for soldiers


• Cleaned the park


• among many other things.

Every student that went to the game received a free ticket to watch a D-backs game, D-backs T-shirt and a free meal from the concession stand.


We first gathered at a park near Chase Field to have a Rally. Baxter was there hyping up the kids... (they really didn't need help getting loud) One student from every school won a BIG prize for giving the most outstanding service. Our very own Ashlie was the winner from our school. Her service was making crosses for a church & cards for soldiers. Ashlie won a backpack full of LOTS of goodies like a D-backs jersey, t-shirt, d-backs bat, bracelets, d-backs rattle and other things. For many of our students, it was the very first time they had ever seen a baseball game at Chase Field.

Air Masses Experiment

Our objective for this experiment was to investigate what happens when air masses of different temperature and humidity conditions meet."

JOE: I liked this experiment because I enjoyed playing with the fire. It was cool to see how the smoke moved slowly to the top with cold air masses and it went fast with hot air masses.




PABLO - It was fun. I learned that two hot Air Masses in the convection tubes become foggy.


JULIA says... Event though the smoke filled air smelled nasty that I couldn't breath, but it was a good experiment because it was fun and educational.

ERICK: I noticed that when the air masses meet they moved around a lot. It was kind of like they were dancing.

BERTHA says... We were working with Air Masses. I was able to lean what happens when hot air and cold air meet.

ALVARO says... It was so cool and I learned something new about the consequences when Air Masses meet.

JESSICA says... I agree with the bad smell and it gave me a headache but it was fun because we didn't have to write a lot but we did have to experiment how the Air Masses move.

RUBEN: I learned that Science is actually pretty fun. I have enjoyed working with my group because we help each other out a lot.

JUAN: We used a punk stick to create smoke (clouds). The smoke from the hot tube pretty much moving around and the smoke from the ice was kind of hiding.

DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE!!!

Teamwork always gets the job done right!
