First, to provide a means of communication and increase awareness with respect to 4th and 5th grade Science at LeConte. Second to provide another vehicle for students to notebook and share knowledge gained. In general, it is also intended to serve as an information resource, a means of communication, and an archive of student work.Adwoahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11256058929674246626noreply@blogger.comBlogger131100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8398135136837548478.post-87891363055140591612008-06-09T10:08:00.000-07:002008-06-09T10:10:27.719-07:00If you have not posted your project and are ready to do so here is the place.

We know that the slow movement of these plates is responsible for both volcanoes and earthquakes. We know that volcanoes are responsible for the formation of extrusive igneous rocks.

We were discussing notebooks, portfolios, and our blog. While we were comparing notes, Ms. Ingley remarked that Mr. Adams had fascinating information about the upcoming lunar eclipse.<br />The next lunar eclipse visible from Berkeley will occur on Wednesday February 20, 2008. It will be visible from Western Europe, Africa, and Asia on February 21, Ms. Ingley's birthday.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8398135136837548478-5428251529303071716?l=scienceatleconte.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adwoahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11256058929674246626noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8398135136837548478.post-1683055944679547222008-02-06T15:20:00.000-08:002008-12-09T22:13:42.456-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c-oByj387VQ/R6pBFLp_qNI/AAAAAAAAAAM/OBJLcPtzQ9U/s1600-h/Adwoa+at+work.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c-oByj387VQ/R6pBFLp_qNI/AAAAAAAAAAM/OBJLcPtzQ9U/s320/Adwoa+at+work.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164011480017774802" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8398135136837548478-168305594467954722?l=scienceatleconte.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adwoahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11256058929674246626noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8398135136837548478.post-50332508370131519852008-02-02T20:40:00.000-08:002008-03-07T10:13:23.078-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0802/VenJupMorn_tafreshi800.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0802/VenJupMorn_tafreshi800.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">This is a photograph of Mercury and Venus in the morning.<br /></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8398135136837548478-5033250837013151985?l=scienceatleconte.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adwoahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11256058929674246626noreply@blogger.com1
