The Higher Keys Perform!

Brown University’s oldest premiere coed a cappella group, The Higher Keys, were on tour in Orlando last week, and they were kind enough to stop by LCPS for an impromptu performance. They performed undeniably catchy versions of Aretha Franklin’s “Think” and Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me to the Moon”, as well as a couple original...

3rd Quarter Job Shadow – Alex Broline

I was expecting to see a bunch of white-haired elderly old grumps arguing and grumbling about the “good ol’ days”. Instead my job shadow was  just a little more exciting  than I  thought. Anyway, I drew and drew for 3 hours straight. My mentor had no idea about art at all. BUT it was...

Josh Fair Video Game

2nd Quarter Exhibition: The Water Cycle-LCPS Primary School

2nd Quarter Exhibition – Rachel Lammey

My project I did for Exhibition was about Water Misconceptions because when I was researching  for my Cultural Jam I discovered many of them. I figured that many people don’t know about what I found out so I decided to tell them.

2nd Quarter Exhibition – Aaring Blanding

My project was a terrarium. I made it out of pebbles, activated charcoal, Spanish moss, soil, and plants. I made it to demonstrate the water cycle.

2nd Quarter Exhibition – Rachel Miller

I did my project on gardening!!!! It was really interesting learning all these things. I learned a lot on gardening by the moon, and a quarter of it wasn’t from my research, surprisingly.  A few parents were talking about how some of their parents or grandparents gardened by the moon and how it wasn’t a...

2nd Quarter Exhibition – Blake Joiner

My project was on Somalia. I based it on an article I found on the Somalia water problem. I thought it would be cool to make a game show based on Somalia, but before I could make the game show I had to make a movie to inform the people on Somalia so they could...

2nd Quarter Exhibition – Milca Rivera

For my exhibition project I put together a Children’s book of nursery rhymes in both Spanish and English. In my book I put six English nursery rhymes that almost everyone knows and translated them into Spanish, and I got three Spanish nursery rhymes that most Hispanic’s have known of for generations and translated those into English. Along with that I placed four books...

2nd Quarter Exhibition – Kyle Page

For my 2nd quarter exhibition I made a miniature waterwheel. This was a challenging project for me because it required a lot of precise measurements and cutting of the wood and PVC. The purpose of the waterwheel was to address Egypt’s irrigation problem. The way the waterwheel would help is by picking up the water from the Nile and then dropping...

2nd Quarter Exhibition – Nelson Tirado

For my exhibition project I did a presentation on our field trip to WaterTechInc. I presented it as a digital slideshow using a technology called Prezi. I talked about the company, its specialties, water filtration, and the process of backwashing. I wanted people to understand how important water filtration really is. Water filtration is...
