“I wonder …..” you fill in the rest.
That’s the theme for science this year. Somehow I hope to rekindle the child-like wonder and amazement at the world which surrounds us. Throughout the year I’ll encourage you to wonder — “I wonder why this happens” “I wonder how this works” “I wonder what would happen if”. Then we’ll build the skills to answer those questions.
As I’m writing this and finishing up a re-design of the class website, I wonder what our first week will be like. Currently tropical storm Fay is off the coast of Cuba and computer models predict its path to include Central Florida. Right now classes on Tuesday and Wednesday are questionable. So if there is no school does the learning stop?
- I wonder if tropical storm Fay will turn into a hurricane.
- I wonder what affects the paths of storms.
- I wonder how computers predict the path.
- I wonder what causes storms to strengthen.
- I wonder what you wonder.

I still wonder a lot about hurricanes, but I’m not wondering about class tomorrow — its been cancelled. We’ll see what happens tomorrow but I might guess that we’ll not have class Wednesday either. It depends on the storm’s strength and movement.
Thank you all for a great first day of school (I mean that) and I look forward to a great year.
Fay seems to be the storm that never quits! I just received a call stating that schools will be closed tomorrow (Friday) so we’ll have a long weekend. To make up for the 2 days off you’ll now have school on October 17th and 24th.
What path do you think Ike will take? When do you think all this water from fay will go away? What do you think happened to little Caylee Anothany?
What do you think is going to happen with the election?
These are all things that every teenager who has seen the news is mostlikely thinking about!
Do you think thats fair?
I don’t! Altho i don’t mind keeping up with the things goingon in the world.
What do you think?

i really like wondering about things. i wonder how people figured out how big the earth is or even how they figured it was round???!!
i hope that we get more expirements like the bublegum lab!!!
how do they predict the storms path?
i wonder that if we were to get a really big hurricane how many people might not make it out save.
i wonder how much water is in a pond,lake,and pool<how much rain can a cloud hold?
The video is so cool and nice .
thats a good song i want it so i can put it on my myspace so tell me the name and the song.and that bubble gun project was off the chan we all have fun in your class that is one of my faviort class
WHENEVER I GET CLOSE TO THAT WIERD WHITE DANDALION I SNEEZ A-A-ACHOOOOOOOOO
i know right its cool i find things like this very intresting, but i cant seem to understande why we cant stop hurricanes………i know it sound’s stupid but every night befor i go to sleep i always say to myself what if i came up with in idea that can stop us from all of this carzy hurricans that we have every year it bothers me becouse it feels like we can make a change=]]
mr grant i think this class web site is cool and the song you looked up is realy cool and it is a easyer way to learn the watercycle. were did you get the song.
I wonder where ducks live and where do they go when it rains
i like that experiment it was tight
i wonder if anymore storms are going to come our way…
is there one name hurricane paulina?
Does anyone ever wonder about what happened to little Caylee Anothany?
I do and I would love to here what ya’ll have to say about it and love to see some replies on it.
Let me know what ya’ll think.

how much water do you think covers the pond lakes and oceans ALL TOGATHER
I wonder how we are going to answer all these questions?
Maybe you could do some investigations on your own and post some answers here.
You could even earn some credit for it.
heyyy… i still don’t know what causes water currents. When are we going to find out???
RE Paulina 7th 18
That’s Ok. You’ll be doing some research to find out.
Well I think we all know what happen to Caylee Anothony, Emily.
Where do we do I wonders about earthquakes and volcanoes? (:
paulina 7th>>>>>>>>>>>
well there is probably alot of things that cause water currents like the wind or movement in the water stuff like that!!:Dlol
i wonder……if we spin dose the sun rotate to . like dose the core spin and the surface spin? If so how ?
i think water currents come from the under valcanos or maybe wind or under water earthquakes.
I believe we studied ocean currents, both surface and deep. Can anyone remember that far back? There’s also plenty of resources on this site to answer your question.
ya i remember back when we did that sort of im going to look up some info right now brb with new comment.
Ocean Currents ,(SurfaceCirculation upper 400 meters of the ocean).
,(Thermohaline Circulation density difference is a function of different temperatures and salinity)
ok the other day i was watching the science channel(i think?) and it was on super humans . It was saying how people could endure frezzing temps. and the scientist were saying how they r trying to gentically make people like that. i wonder if that could actually have a negative affect on a person !
