Welcome, new 6th grade students. In this space this year, I will attempt to let you know a little bit about what we are going to be doing in physical science this year. So, try to follow this space, and I am going to try to add things like mysteries to solve and some experiments you can try at home and let us know how they turned out at school.

Goose Banding
June 30th - What an exciting day! Went with my 19 year old son on his job for Kansas Dept. of Wildlife and Parks to band geese. This is a yearly event and we ended up banding 140. We also tested them for the avian flu virus and recording any that already had bands from the previous year. I liken it to herding cattle. The geese are molting and cannot fly, so we had to herd them from a point jutting out into the lake and then they swam into a large holding pen. Along with my son, there were several state wildlife biologists present that directed the operation. We began at 6:00 a.m. and were finished by around 8:30.
