Last Bulletin Board
I just finished putting up my last bulletin board. Usually I have the students design a mini-bulletin board on a science theme on a piece od graph paper, vote (anonymously) on the one they like the best, and then students blow-up the winner to the scale of the real bulletin board. This last one was different. I've been holding on to some work from each class (6th grade model of the atmosphere, 7th grade electric circuit puzzles, and 8th grade drawings of the electromagnetic spectrum). The title is "Science: Electrifyng from Atmosphere to X-Ray". I cut the student work into pieces and stapled like crazy. I attached a battery with a light bulb and wires, so students can play the electric circuit puzzles. I wonder how long the battery and light bulb will last?

The wires lasted until lunch recess the first day. The light bulb lasted about a week. The battery was still there when I took it away last week (Feb. 21). The bulletin board is still up, though. I just saw that I am supposed to do another one April 11-29. Maybe this one will last until then.
