French: Les Chauffe-Eau Solaires

The girls did une expérience de science (a science experiment) in French class last week! We discussed l'effet de serre (the greenhouse effect) and then made les chauffe-eau solaires (mini greenhouses) using shoe boxes. In Mrs. Roessler's class, the girls were lucky enough to have visitors from an upper school AP French class. The upper schoolers taught them a lesson on l'energie solaire and then helped them make their chauffe-eau solaires...all while only speaking French! I was impressed by both Mrs. Roessler's and Mrs. Orlando's classes and how well they understood the rather complicated vocabulary and concepts associated with this experiment. Chapeaux, les filles!
