| 6th Grade Science In 6th grade science we will start out the year learning about earth in space. In this unit we will learn about the relationships between the sun, earth, and moon, why we have seasons, phases of the moon, solar, and lunar eclipses, energy transfers, impact craters, astroids and meteoroids. In the second unit we will take a look at catastrophic events such as tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, thunderstorms, tsunamis, and volcanoes. |
8th Grade Science In 8th grade science we will begin the year discussing simple machines, energy and motion. During the last part of the first semester students will create a project that incorporates what they have learned to share at a sciene night activity. During the second semester students will be introduced to chemistry and will see how different substances react in different ways. |
| 6th Grade Homeroom Homeroom is a class to help 6th graders adjust to the middle school schedule. This is a class for students to work on homework, silent read, work on extension projects, and have the option to go to other teachers to ask questions or get help with assignments. I will be checking to see that students are filling out their planners regulary and we will also be doing various activities as a class to build positive relationships with one another and to create a respectful environment at FMS. |
6th Grade Camp 6th grade camp will be coming up quick. In the fall we will be going to Tall Timbers for an overnight stay filled with activities and food that will let us all get to know one another. Some activities include a climbing wall, a hike, a juggling act, and the all famous talent show. More information will be forthcoming. |
| iPeriodiPeriod is a time at the end of the day for students to get organized, complete homework, ask questions, get extra help from teachers, get caught up, and have time for their choice of learning activities. During this time students must be working on their own silently unless they have filled out or recieved an iPeriod ticket to meet with a specific teacher. |
8th Grade Science Night Science Night is a time when students get to share their learning with family and friends. Students will create a project that includes a series of connected simple machines to make an object complete a specific task. For more information, click on the Rube Goldberg Project page listed under 8th grade science. |
Heidi Bucholz
Welcome! I am Mrs. Bucholz and I teach 6th and 8th grade science at Foothills Middle School. I am in my second year at FMS and look forward to another great year. Beyond teaching, I enjoy many outdoor activities including camping, hiking, biking, boating, and taking my dog, Bailey, for walks during the spring, summer, and fall, but I would rather be inside cooking, reading, listening to music, watching a good movie, or scrapbooking in the winter months. I also enjoy spending time with family and friends during any season of the year. I live in East Wenatchee with my husband, Jacob, who teaches 8th grade science at Orchard Middle School and my beagle, Bailey, who spends his days sniffing in the backyard.
