Third grade science students have been busy learning about our bodies. One focus was our articulated skeleton and what would it be like to not have opposable thumbs. Students challenged themselves to do everyday activities without thumbs.
Fourth grade science students had a STEM challenge to build a boat entirely out of cardboard. Students then had to float the boat and see how many gram weights their boat could support before sinking. There were a few criteria and constraints in their way so they had to be creative and work as a team.
Fifth grade science students are finishing up their Earth and Space unit with a study of the water cycle and its processes. They played a game of traveling around the cycle as a water droplet. We discovered a lot about where most of our water is located on our planet. Do you know where most of Earth's water is located? I bet a fifth grader can tell you!
