Students in Mrs. Ballard's and Ms. Oates' Earth Science Classes investigated the factors that affect mass movements (mudslides, avalanches, rockslides, and slumps). Groups designed their own experiments to test either the slope of the land, the composition of the rock, or the moisture content of the soil. Students graphed and analyzed their data and then shared their results with the rest of the class to generate conclusions about mass movements. Then the class described areas in Wisconsin and in the United States that might be susceptible to mass movements.
This week Cory Clark from UW- River Falls stopped by the Advanced Plant Science to discuss schooling options after high school.

FFA FIRE Conference is the first major conference new FFA members can attend. Today a couple of our FFA members took a step outside of their comfort zone and attended the conference. The goal of the conference was to teach our young members through games and workshops about leadership qualities and how to grow those qualities, developing goals for their FFA journey, how to dress for success in the FFA jacket, exploring careers and opportunities in agriculture, and learning more about potential supervised agricultural experiences. Our young members had a great time meeting the state officers and making new FFA friends from other chapters!
