MSMS Volcanic Eruptions
As a grand finale to their Lithosphere Unit, the 6th graders exploded volcanoes. This was not the traditional vinegar and baking soda eruption, but rather a Coke and Mentos experimentation! They tested two hypotheses: "Carving into the Mentos to expose the material creates the bigger explosion" and "An 'all-at-once' delivery system creates the bigger explosion."

MSMS Take Down Tobacco
Take Down Tobacco Piñata Smashing was held at Manitou Springs Middle School during all three lunches. Students who are members of the SWAT Team worked at a table and encouraged their peers to take the pledge to not vape, smoke, or use tobacco and nicotine products. Students or staff who signed up to pledge received a ticket to swing at the piñata (disguised as cigarettes/Skoal can/Vape pen). The Department of Public Health was also present with pig lungs on display which simulate lungs of a smoker versus someone who doesn't smoke.

Body Systems Week
Leading up to Body Systems Week, 7th grade students studied the human muscle, skeletal, and nervous systems. Then they completed group or individual project presentations on other human body systems. In the one-day frog dissections, the students were tasked with identifying internal organs by removing and placing them on a grid. In this process we discussed respecting life, as well as the similarities between frogs and humans. Students had the option to be out of the room and complete a drag and drop online dissection of a grasshopper.
