This week in class we were trying to learn why so many kids were absent from school from Truman Middle School and Jackson Middle School. The science ideas that I learned was that many of the kids that were out sick were sick with stomach problems like stomach pain,vomiting and diarrhea. We also learned that the kids started to get sick more during the month of May. with this information we may be closer to solving the problem of why the students are sick.
We did not learn all thi stuff by ourselves. We found that most of the kids had stomache problems by seeing interview the principals of both schools had with the kids who were absent. Another thing that we learn was when the kids started to get absent lot was by looking at the attendance data on the schools' website.
Finally many people including myself could find learning these things valuable in the real world. these things can teach us about observation and getting facts from the direct source. You could use this if you decide to become a journalist, a scientist or just someone who wants to know something. In many things that you do the skills can help you in everyday life.
