In fourth grade science we are studying all about light and sound. In this lesson, the students had fun trying to using only a mirror by tracing the pattern by their partner holding the mirrors. The lesson was a laughing out loud experiment about how reflection works.

Fourth graders are experiencing the properties of waves in science by using metal spring toys. Light and sound consist of wave energy of specific wavelengths, which is the distance between the peaks in the waves. Waves have specific heights, or amplitudes, and are measured in periods, which is the time it takes a to complete a cycle.

First graders recently visited the science lab to learn how cold weather animals stay warm. They used a zip lock bag filled with ice they all had to hold their hands on the ice. They discovered quickly their hands got very cold. Next, they were given goose feathers to use and they decided it was warmer. Then the last item was a bag of blubber (actually shortening). Their conclusion was that God gave seals, sea lions, penguins, and many more cold weather animals, extra blubber to keep the animals warm.

Dr. Freimer, when he is not working in the emergency room, can be seen around the Lower School.

He graciously came in science lab when Mrs. Brindley had asked him a quick question, and just on whim, he taught a wonderful lesson to our third graders about how our brain works. He gave illustrations and made it easy for all of us to learn about our nerves and what stimulates our brain. We are truly blessed to have such a caring and helpful doctor that is willing to endure many questions and answers in terms the children can truly understand.

Dr. Freimer, thank you so much for all of your time you give freely to 91èÏÈÉú.
