Mrs. Tietz 6th grade Science classes did a tennis ball drop lab. The students used 6 different surfaces to drop a tennis ball on. They hypothesized which surface would would result in the highest bounce back.
Once finished with the ball drop, the students found the average and created a bar graph of their results.

Our 6th grade class had Career Day last week with several special guests from the community. Athletic Trainer Alize Boatright from RSU Athletics came to talk about the schooling required, job requirements, and pay scale for athletics trainers. Engineers from Pelco were also guests who challenged our students to come up with a design that will hold a golf ball in about five minutes. Most groups worked together to conquer this challenge! Thank you to all our special guests for their time. We appreciate our community!

Way to show your #CPSZEBRAPRIDE!
We had our February GE Assembly yesterday, and as a junior high trying to achieve Great Expectations Model School status, we are constantly looking for ways to improve our monthly Great Expectations assembly. Our assemblies are a cross between an elementary rise and shine and a high school pep assembly. The GE assembly committee invited high school STUCO students to come over and assist in our assembly this month. They took on this project by leading a game, talking to the students about being involved, and they helped each grade level show more participation, including inviting teachers to play the game. Students loved watching the teachers! Let's hope they have recovered today! Thanks for being such great sports Mr. Knoke, Mr. Rogers, Mrs. James and Ms. Lohmann!

Forces are interactions between objects - a push or pull. When an object is pushed against the force of one of these fields, the object gains potential energy. Mrs. Worley's Science classes are using what they know of forces and energy to make cars to survive a jousting tournament.

Ms. Cox and Mrs. Smith's classes on their African safari across the Giant Africa Map: Students located countries, cities, and land forms across the massive continent using mental mapping as well as latitude and longitude. They also learned how to calculate distance between cities using the map scale.

Ms. Cox's Geography students have been researching oil pollution in the Niger River Delta. The Niger Delta is the delta of the Niger River sitting directly on the Gulf of Guinea on the Atlantic Ocean in Nigeria. The Delta is home to most of Nigeria’s oil industry and now has extremely high pollution due to oil spills. Students worked in groups to find evidence regarding who is responsible for the oil spills. Many students argued that the Shell Petroleum Corporation is responsible, but others argued that the Nigerian government should take more responsibility. The students created posters of their findings and presented them to 6th grade geography students.

Claremore hosted a TSA conference this weekend. We had over 400 students compete at the TSA conference. Claremore students competed well! We also had a VEX tournament last weekend. TSA and Robotics students worked on both events. They stayed late and came in early for the last three weeks getting ready for these tournaments. They made trophies, printed judges packets, setup fields, and helped organize and run both conferences. The students put in so much extra time and effort and worked very hard. The community support was unbelievable as well. Not only did parents, advisors, and teachers contribute their time, but former students and members of the community as well as people from surrounding communities came to help. Mr. Isenbart can’t thank everyone enough for all the support that has been given to the Claremore TSA and Robotics programs. You guys are amazing!

#CPSZEBRAPRIDE
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to walk across Africa? Mrs. Jarrett's Geography class is doing just that! Well, on a map! Each student was assigned a different area to learn about and describe the different physical features of it.

We had another successful weekend for our Robotics team! Team 8634A won the excellence award which is the number ONE award! They also made it to the finals where they placed 2nd! We had four teams make it to the semifinals. Way to go!
