Science at Hoover

Hello Hoover Rockets,

Mrs. Mehelich came into Mrs. Cannell's third grade class last week, to take Eco Action on behalf of the endangered Monarch butterflies!  She taught the class about how Monarchs migrate from Canada to Mexico, how their nutrition comes soley from milkweed, how milkweed is dwindling due to climate change and wide spread use of weed killers.  Then the kids planted 3 varieties of milkweed on Hoover's grounds by Mr. Tony's shed.  The seeds will undergo cold, moist stratification under the soil over the winter and should germinate in May - just in time for the arrival of the Monarchs in June!  We hope they enjoy the nectar and lay eggs on the leaves!  We learned so much!

Mrs. Lipinski's class learned about static electricity.




Mrs. Mehelich also visited Mrs. Flak's classroom.  She came in to talk to the children briefly about Hanukkah, read a story about it, showed a menorah, gave a bit of background on it, and also taught the children to play the dreidel game.
