Day Nine: Geology, Weather, Arts, and Civil Rights

Today, we studied a lot of geology and weather. We completed a class activity on the study of the earth using receipt paper. We were able to use rulers and receipt tape to get an idea of how much history is in or of the making of the earth. Next, it was back to art with Mrs. Latham. It is so much fun to create your own art technology piece and it is also very, very relaxing.
Mr. Michael Murphy, an MSU grad student from Florida, talked to the class about civil rights history in Starkville. We learned a few good pieces about the first African American to go to school at MSU and how people in Starkville and MSU reacted to integration of African Ameeicans at MSU.
Dr. Murphy showed us some science fair projects that students have used in previous science fairs. They were all awesome projects!
