Sometimes rocks aren't always the coolest - but sometimes history and science cross - at least we don't do out school work on Slates anymore.

Photography students are learning about natural lighting vs. studio lighting. Today was a great chance for them to take advantage of the overcast sky as they practiced some of their skills. The snow was a bonus and made for lots of fun and laughter... and maybe some frozen fingers too!
6th grade art spent October learning about two styles of art,
Notan art - a Japanese style of art that balances light and dark and uses a mirror image to look at the shapes and patterns in an image.
Batik art - an Indonesian style of art that uses a wax resist dying technique. Students used crayon as the wax resist and painted over with a black paint wash.
Joseph City Elementary School will be operating with normal hours for November 6th, 2024.
Good lesson in Chemistry today - trying an AI generated lab. - the Dancing Gummy Bear
Hint - it did not work
So instead we did the Screaming Gummy Bear which did work - same compounds, just a different procedure.

The art class has done this art project before, but Cyanotype paper has chemistry behind it. This is a redox reaction causing a blue reaction between the iron compound and UV light.
The study of evolution can be controversial. Students need to evaluate evidence they see to come up with conclusions. The Smithsonian Natural History Museum allows students to look at different evidences of evolution and make these conclusions.
Not many people think that 'rocks' are fun.; but we live in Arizona and have a rich history of treasure and mystery.
The Earth & Space Science class is using associated minerals, maps of Arizona mineral deposits, probabilities, and clues to find possible locations of the Lost Dutchman's Mine.
Not only is this a great way to learn the geography of the state, students learn history and resources of the state as well.
This project was written by Mrs. Bushman and can be found on ASU's ASAP page.
Mrs. Bushman reserves the right to ask for a 10% inspiration fee for any student that finds the real mine and digs it up ;)
