Pacific Intermediate 6th graders are sharpening their note-taking skills as they prepare for upcoming research projects! 📝
Students are learning how to sort through information and identify the most important “gold nuggets” that will guide their work.
Along the way, they are developing key research skills:
➡️ Writing clear bullet points to keep notes short and focused
➡️ Paraphrasing ideas in their own words instead of copying text
➡️ Tracking sources so credit is given where it is due

Pacific Intermediate 5th grade scientists are preparing to launch a solar-powered rover, but first, they must answer a critical mission question: where should it go? 🪐
Students have been exploring the Inverse Square Law and discovering that as their rover travels farther from the Sun, sunlight becomes much dimmer and spreads out quickly.
Using flashlights and light meters, students are mapping out the “solar sweet spot” that could power their rover and help make the mission a success! ✅

There is some “ribbit-ing” research happening in Mr. Elbert’s English class at Pacific Intermediate as students explore the life cycle of a frog while developing their informative writing skills. 🐸
Writing a strong essay is a process, and students are building the foundation step by step:
✅ Jotting down key facts from their research
✅ Transforming notes into organized outlines that help structure their ideas
✅ Practicing handwriting and letter sounds to make sure their message is clear
It is great to see our students strengthening their writing skills while learning about the natural world!
