Students in Mrs. Howard's fifth grade class have been experimenting.  During this experiment, we tried to find the best "rocket fuel" for our bottle rockets. We mixed several solids (alka seltzer, baking soda) with liquids (soda, water, and vinegar), and tried to come to a conclusion about which combination worked best. We had fun testing our hypotheses and being scientists for the day!

This week the kindergartners at Orchard Hills have been learning about what science is.  Science is: water, land, animals, our bodies, seasons, senses, experiments, wondering, asking questions, fossils, rocks, and much much more!  In Miss Rowley's class each child was asked to share some sort of science project or subject with the class.  Some shared with the class were: sink and float, magnets, leaf collection, making a volcano, color experiments, and more.  Science is fun!

First grade students had the Bean Museum come and teach about categorizing animals.

In January, Rick Wieber's Bicycle Stunt Show came to Orchard Hills.  What a great time for our school.  They did some amazing bike stunts that were loved by all.  They taught about bicycle safety, goal setting, achievement, bullying, and drugs.  They shared their personal experiences and kept everyone entertained while doing it.  They also taught the importance of wearing helments.  Thanks for coming to our school!

Orchard Hills Elementary students delighted the Nebo School Board of Education by presenting musical pieces from their first sixth-grade orchestra and a short vignette from the “Christmas Carol” from their drama students.
