PUE5Quest

 Last week, students learned about two different art styles.  They learned about Pointillism and Mosaic art.  They had to select one of their favorite cartoon characters, or any coloring page, that they liked to show different types of art.  Most say pointillism is the hardest because it took so much time, but they all look fantastic!

Last week we completed our Intro to Forensics unit. We started by learning how to be good observers. This was much more difficult than many expected! Next, we learned to lift fingerprints and identify them as loop, whorl, or arch. Then, we learned the importance of Forensic Odontology. Candy made this lesson sweet! Finally, we learned how to take a cast of a footprint left at the "scene." We then compared the cast to a few suspects' shoe impressions. We hope to revisit this unit at a later date, where we will learn about fiber/hair analysis, evidence collection, handwriting analysis, and secret messages, as well as how to use a black light at the scene.
