4th graders have been busy engineering windmill lifts to see who's windmill can lift the largest load. They used their background knowledge on renewable energy and wind turbines to create the most effective windmill lift. We can't wait to test them out to see what design lifts the heaviest load!
This morning, grades 3rd, 4th, and 5th attended our first in a series of STEAM Career Panel Discussions in our school's multipurpose room. Students listened to the inspiring presentations and then asked each of our panelists interesting questions.
Today's theme: "Careers in the Arts" featured these amazing professionals in our community:
3rd grade students using our Lego BricQ kits to better understand forces and motion. Students build track and field event models that moved and students explained what forces were used during the events. They are currently building race cars and will investigate how the tire size affects its speed.
Kindergarten and ESN students are exploring 2D and 3D shapes. We made 3D shapes with playdough and created a robot using 2D shapes. We then learned about primary colors and mixed primary colors to make secondary colors.
Our 1st graders have been engineering bridges to get a lost horse to it's friends in the pasture across the river. Students used Legos and popsicle sticks to create their bridges. They learned that a triangle is stronger than a square.
