Her husband. Ihil. is a science sci-ence teacher at Highland Elementary El-ementary School and the two share ideas and methods as they prepare lessons. "My husband likes to go fishing." Vickie Marrott said. "We went to Scof leld and at certain times of the day you can get crayfish out. I asked What are those ugly things?' We caught quite a few that day." Later she had an idea how-to how-to use them in the classroom. " I ri.n across some lesson plans that had to do with crayfish." she said. "To catch them, we had to have a permit per-mit We applied at the State I ish and dame and got a permit per-mit That was six or seven years aj; and she is still using crayfish cray-fish in her leaching. 'A'h-n they are first intro-du intro-du ed to the c!assr(om. students stu-dents have var ious ideas how ihev will be used. ' V. .11 we eat them '" "Will we dissect them " they ask Marrott gently explains the students will observe their structures and behavior and do research using the scientific scientif-ic mehod lliey come up with a question and do investigations investiga-tions to find the answer. One question they had was Lemonade Mason Porter Everyone krxws that when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade But not all the lemons in life s orchard are sweet No. some art very sour indeed Three of our fellow cavemen found that out first hand during dur-ing the past week, in a tragic fire that took most everything they had. When the news came to the knowledge of the student body officers, they knew exactly w hat to do. Last Thursday, student council members went through every first period class holding envelopes wflh . -. t MTT SMITH t". Couffly Mrs. Vkkie Barratt, a fifth grude teacher ut liurratt Elementary School in American York, keeps crayfish in her c lassroom to aid in science studies for her students. whether the crayfish were territorial, remaining in the same areas instead of roaming roam-ing "I show them how to go through the whole scientific method about it. and come to a conclusion," Marrott said "They made graphs and put together a science board to display the results "1 hey even did oral speaking, speak-ing, going to other classes to share their findings They practiced their speaking skills. They studied heredity and survival, including learning learn-ing about how they use their claws " T he results of the territorial territo-rial issue were varied They divided the tank not always as sweet as caveman dollar signs on them. Some students donated in change, others donated very generous amounts of bills, and by 9 05 that morning. American fork students had put together over $1,600 to aid their friends and fellow Cavemen But the generosity didn't end there. People donated throughout through-out the day, and by the lime the bell rang to set the students free, more than $2,000 had been amassed for the emergency. - into sections and numbered the crayfish. Each day they tracked where they were found and charted the findings. find-ings. One remained in the same location, two were mostly close to the same area each time and one was deemed a "social butterf ly." The students also learn about the life cycle and how crayfish only live around two years This year they started out with around 50 crayfish and there are only two left. The V ish and Game people do not allow anyone who takes the crayfish out to put them back into their habitat, so they remain in the classroom and the student keep observing observ-ing their behavior. The student body officers would like to thank everybody who heljjed this family during the crisis, and wishes them well. But fire isn't always a bad thing, especially for the boys' basketball team, who seem to have caught fire, having won two region games this past week, going for three as they take on the first -place Spanish Span-ish Fork Dons this Friday at home. There will be action, drama, half-time giveaways, and of course. Jeff Toone's ('J4) good looks So please, bring the entire en-tire family to this wholesome activity. Speaking of wholesome .&s 1 1 One of the first things they learn is how to pick them up and hold them so they do not get pinched. They learn to make both quantitative and qualitative observations, focusing on things they can measure or weigh, and things they observe, ob-serve, such as color or other items. Josh Nilsson, Joseph Miller, Hailey Mower and Marina Johnson did some observations observa-tions on the crayfish Monday. Mon-day. "The first one weighs 45 grams," Joseph said. "It is hard to take it out of the measuring mea-suring thing." Hailey said they had been working with the crayfish for about two months. She found it interesting to watch them. "The most interesting thing was watching hew they ate," she said. "It was pretty much anything." Joseph enjoyed watching them move around on the table. Marina said, "I didn't like looking in their mouths because be-cause it was pretty gross." All in all, the students seemed to enjoy the crayfish, but not some of the detail work. "I don't like writing down the information," Marina said. "I like the hands-on thing. We don't just watch others, but get to do it ourselves." Some of the students even named some of the crayfish. Marina explained one of her favorites was called "SFSB," which stood for "Small Fry, Squatty Body," it could be activities, there are plenty of school dances between now and May, and girls, it's your turn to ask the guys out. MORP is at the end of February, Febru-ary, so hop to it. Also, seniors who haven't purchased a ticket yet for the all night party at Boondock's will pay for their procrastina-t procrastina-t ton $: to be exact, $ 10 more than the original price. Did you forget the old saying? say-ing? "The early bird saves ten bucks on their all-night party passes." It's true. And I'm all about the truth. Until next time, have a nice day and a pleasant tomorrow. SEVENTH GRADE Jenna Abram, Mellaina Adams, Karruko Adcock, Cameron All-dredge. All-dredge.
