So on the very last day of school, we finished our models to explain what happens to the body of a dead raccoon over time. Within them, students also connected the ideas behind what actually happens to the bodies of other organisms as they relate to the raccoon, recognizing that matter is never lost, it just goes somewhere else. Check out the students' work below, and although there are still some misconceptions that exist, we're on the right track for sixth grade! Way to go!
