EJ Hayes students have had an out-of-this-world experience over the past few weeks with help from Morehead Planetarium & Science Center along with NASA resources.
Our students studied moon rocks from the Apollo program from NASA and meteorites from the Morehead Planetarium to learn more about the composition and formation of the moon as well as planets. Our students modeled moon phases as well as taking a deeper look into the solar system with planetarium shows such as Solar System Odyssey and Earth, Moon, and Sun.
Our 5th graders viewed Mysteries of the Brain to gain a better understanding of how the brain works.

You do not have to wait for high school to take hands-on classes such as Exploring Environment and Natural Resources! Just as Samantha Hoggard's seventh graders at Riverside Middle School.
This morning students used a standard water monitoring kit to test water samples from the water fountain, the workroom sink, the Roanoke River, and the Pamlico River.
The samples were tested for dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, phosphate, and nitrate. They have been learning about water quality and pollution so this was a hands-on opportunity to analyze local water sources and our drinking water.
