🎃👻 Science Isn't Scary!! 🧪🔬
Our science classrooms were full of spooky experiments and hands-on learning for Halloween! 🎃
🧪 Physical Science students brewed up spooky, bubbling potions while exploring chemical reactions!
🩸 Health Science students discovered their own blood types while learning about blood and the human body!
🎃 Life Science students got a little messy making pumpkin slime and exploring the science of polymers!
🕷️ Earth Science students created crystal spiders while investigating crystal formation and mineral growth!
🧬 Biology students extracted DNA from pumpkins, getting a closer look at the genetic material found in living things!
From bubbling potions to pumpkin DNA, our students proved that science isn't scary—it's SPOOKTACULAR! 👻🔬🎃
Teamwork was the name of the game during our Coop Challenge! Students worked together through a skeleton scavenger hunt and a fun STEM project, building cooperation, communication, and problem-solving skills along the way! Way to work together and support one another! Blue coop is the champion for this quarter! 💀 🎃 🐓 💙
Looks like our coaches are ready for today's game against the Hettinger/Scranton Nighthawks! :) Good luck to our Bantams in the District Volleyball Tournament. The game is at 5:30 MT in Glen Ullin.
👻🎃 Spooky Science in Physics! 🎃👻
Our Physics students put their engineering and physics skills to the test with two Halloween-themed challenges! First up were the Ghost Races, where students designed and built rubber-band-powered popsicle stick cars to race their ghosts! 👻🏎️
Next came the Pumpkin Catapult Challenge, where students built catapults to launch candy pumpkins and competed for the ultimate prize!
Along the way, students explored forces, motion, energy transfer, and engineering design—all while competing for the highly coveted Golden Ghost 🏆👻 and Golden Pumpkin 🏆🎃 awards!
A little friendly competition makes learning physics even more fun! 🔬

It's that time of the year again to bundle up for the cold weather.
🔬🌎 This Week in Science! 🧠🪨
Our Health Science students have been learning about body systems and homeostasis, including how stress can affect the body. Students put their knowledge to work by creating stress management brochures geared toward middle and high school students, sharing healthy ways to manage stress and maintain balance in their lives! 🧠💚
Meanwhile, our 8th Grade Earth Science students kicked off their rocks and minerals unit! Students explored real examples from different mineral groups while learning about their properties and chemical element composition. They even got to put their sense of smell to work with a sulfur mineral! 👃🪨
From understanding how our bodies maintain balance to discovering the chemistry behind Earth's minerals, it's been another great week of hands-on learning! 🔬🌎

⏰ Early dismissal today! 🚌 Buses will arrive by 3:00, and students will be dismissed at that time. Sorry for the late notice! 🙏
Join the fun! Support the Billings County Close-up students!
Next week we are celebrating Healthy Choices Week 🍎 (also known as Red Ribbon Week 🎗️)! Each day, students can join in our fun dress-up days. Here's the schedule: 🎉
Lost and Found
Our high school student council is hosting a fundraiser for the Praus Family on Wednesday, October 21! 🎉 Students can bring money to buy one of the pictured options to splash some of our teachers and/or ice cream. 🍦 See the attached flier for more details! 📄
🧪🌈 Colorful Science in Biology! 🌈🧪
Our Biology students explored the importance of pH and homeostasis with a colorful red cabbage indicator lab! 🥬 Using red cabbage juice as a natural pH indicator, students tested different substances to identify acids, bases, and neutral solutions.
Through this hands-on experiment, students learned how changes in pH can affect living organisms and why maintaining a stable internal environment (homeostasis) is essential for cells and body systems to function properly!
Who knew cabbage could make learning about biology so colorful?! 🔬🌈

🔬🚗🦴 This Week in Science! 🧬
It's been another week of hands-on learning and putting science into action!
🚗 Physical Science students explored momentum through a toy car lab, investigating how mass and velocity affect moving objects.
🧬 Biology students dove into macromolecules and their importance in our bodies! They practiced reading nutrition labels and tracking the carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in their food.
🦴 Health Science students got moving while learning about the skeletal system! After examining the cranium, they competed in a skeletal relay race, solving riddles to identify bones and build their own skeletons!
From physics to nutrition to anatomy, our students are discovering that science is all around us! 🔬💡

On Oct 10, Pixie Q, JoAnna H, Aisley F, Bailey H and Mabel K represented Belfield in the Surround the State in Song honor choir at DMS. The students have been rehearsing this music since beginning of September, and then at the festival joined other SWND students to prepare for and perform a concert. Congratulations on all your hard work and dedication to making beautiful music, girls!👏🎵
Check out our October Title I Newsletter!
What an amazing way to kick off the school year! 🌟 Some of our students have earned themselves some serious bragging rights with perfect attendance in September. That means every single day, they showed up ready to learn, grow, and be part of our classroom community. 🎉 This kind of dedication doesn't go unnoticed—it truly makes a difference! Here's to keeping this wonderful momentum going. You're all superstars! ⭐

📸 Picture Day is Here! If your child was absent in September or needs a retake, just reach out to the classroom teacher through Dojo or give the school a call in the morning. The photographer will be here bright and early! 📷 Thank you!
🧪 This week in Science!
🧘 Health Science students presented their body system projects, demonstrating what they’ve learned about how the different systems of the human body function and work together. They also continued exploring yoga and its connections to movement, flexibility, and overall wellness.
💧 Biology students investigated the unique properties of water with a penny lab, seeing cohesion and surface tension in action! They also explored the pH scale by testing different substances and identifying acids and bases.
🌎 Our 7th grade Life Science students took their learning beyond the classroom and spent some time helping clean up our community — a great reminder that taking care of our environment starts right at home!
Lots of science, hands-on learning, and community involvement this week! 🧬🧪🌱

🌲🌻 In Science this week: When science meets art!
We took a simple pine cone sunflower art project and turned it into science lessons across FOUR different grade levels!
🌱 7th Grade Life Science — plant structures & reproduction
🌎 8th Grade Earth Science — water, Earth systems & natural materials
⚖️ 9th Grade Physical Science — mass, volume & density
🧬 10th Grade Biology — photosynthesis & the carbon cycle
Same pine cones. Same basic project. Four completely different science connections - All ending with a pine cone turned sunflower! And they turned out SO cute! 🌻🍂

🌱🔬 Living or Nonliving?
Our 7th Grade Life Science students put their knowledge to work by creating Living vs. Nonliving posters! Students found three examples of each and explained the evidence that helped them determine whether each was living or nonliving.
A fun way to practice using scientific reasoning and the characteristics of life! 🧬🌿
