Science - from the desk of Mrs. Liporto
This week we began a session of
Science Court that we will continue into
next week. Mr. Norton of Gadgetco is
about to sell ten very expensive machines
to the town that promise to fix the soil at
The Old Dust Field. But Eddy Watt claims
to have a competing machine that costs
almost nothing. Norton accuses Eddy of
stealing the plans for Gadgetco's machine
and takes him to Science Court. So far we
have not learned about Eddy Watts
competing machine and are eagerly awaiting
the next two installments this week. Our
class will have to be the jury in this case,
using the knowledge that we have gathered
about soil
Class Tidbits!

Happy Birthday
We have no birthdays
in November!
