Cindy Schumacher's first graders were very excited
as they did some science experiments using dry ice. They learned
that dry ice really isn't ice at all. It doesn't melt. It is
the frozen form of the gas carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide can
either be in its gaseous form or it can become a solid when it is frozen
(dry ice). When it begins to disappear it's because it has
turned back into a gas. The experiments included making a quarter
scream and a spoon sing. They also made fog coming out of a tall
glass. After adding Dawn detergent to that, bubbles started pouring
out. One of their favorite activities was when a tiny bit of dry ice was
put in a film canister and some water was added. The lid of the film
canister popped off very quickly and went really far. The children
enjoyed these experiments and look forward to many more fun science activities.

Do you know who celebrated his birthday on September
26th? Prairie Elementary first graders in Cindy Schumacher's class do!
They celebrated John Chapman's birthday by making applesauce in their classroom.
The more common name of this special folk hero is Johnny Appleseed.
They learned that many of the stories about Johnny Appleseed were
exaggerated over the years which made his story a "tall tale." The
first graders enjoyed their yummy applesauce and really enjoyed the wonderful
fall smell of apples cooking in their classroom. Click on the
