At SMS, 7th grade students realized they can learn a great deal simply through observation.  Students in Mrs. Angie Chisham’s science class used their senses of sight, sound and touch to describe 10 different sealed boxes and then they made a hypothesis about each box’s contents.   Items included tennis balls, salt, wooden blocks and Legos.  This beginning unit sets the stage for learning the scientific method which will be used throughout the year.
