Science News Update

By Lorie Sliefert, Exeter-Milligan Science Instructor

 

The 6th grade science class is currently learning about the engineering design process.  As part of our unit, we are building a model car that will travel the farthest down a ramp.  They had to brainstorm different models and then analyze them to see if they meet the criteria and constraints that were part of our problem.  They selected 3 designs and then did a decision matrix to determine which was the best solution.  We are currently in the process of testing our cars.  We will analyze the results and then make changes to our designs to improve our models.

What started as a way to entertain guests at a 50th anniversary party turned into a lifelong passion for Rose Marie Hulse.

 

When Hulse, a lifelong resident of Fillmore County, began to plan her parents’ 50th anniversary celebration she realized she wanted to do something different.  After a discussion with her mother she decided to decorate an area with a family chart starting with each set of her four great grandparents.

 

Hulse caught the genealogy bug and it hasn’t left her since.  From her first initial forays she was hooked and found a genealogical society in York to join.  She was elected president after a year but realized that her heart wasn’t in the York club since she and her family were from Saline and Fillmore County.

Exeter Public Library held their Halloween Story Hour on Friday.  Preschool and Kindergarteners came in the morning and enjoyed stories along with a coloring craft.  First through third graders came in the afternoon for stories, coloring and a craft.  The Happy Halloween sign both groups colored and decorated is hanging in the entryway of the village office/library building.

They ended their unit with a Chinese New Year celebration. Students are showing off their paper lanterns.
