Brockbank sixth-graders recently participated in a science fair. Students learned about the scientific process and were then challenged to go home and conduct an experiment that answered a scientific question. The sixth-grade teachers were amazed at the quality of work done by the students. The students worked really hard on their projects. Parents and students from younger grades had the opportunity to go into the gym and look at the projects and ask questions.

Monday, February 3, Brockbank had two representatives from the Utah Water Van program come to visit. The Utah Water Van is an educational outreach program about Utah's wetlands and is offered by The Living Planet Aquarium to fourth-grade students throughout Utah. Fourth-grade students are allowed through the use of models, to see and better understand the importance of Utah's wetlands and about some of Utah's native wetland plants and animals. Students got to see a toad, lizard, salamander and a snake that are found in wetlands.

Thursday, January 30, BYU athletes came to Brockbank to talk to fourth-graders about staying away from drugs. The athletes told students, "The Buff, Don't Puff!" They encouraged each of them to stay away from cigarettes and drugs. Each of the students were given a t-shirt with "Cougar Strong" to symbolize staying strong and to not do drugs.

Brockbank recently had a representative, from Monte L Bean Life Science Museum come and talk to first and second graders. As part of a school outreach program, museum educator, Josh, came and gave students the opportunity to explore how and why scientists classify animals. Students got to group animals in different classifications like water, land, and air - and small, medium, and large, these were only two examples of ways the students classified several animals.

Happy 55th Birthday Brockbank Elementary! Students were encouraged to wear their school shirts or at least the school colors which are navy and maroon. Room parents brought treats in to help the classes celebrate. It was a great ending to a fun Spirit Week!
