Egg-cellent Engineers at Work!

(9/8): Sixth-grade Science students put Newton’s Laws into motion by designing cars with safety features to protect a real egg during a trip down a ramp—and straight into a brick wall! With limited supplies and time, students had to think fast, build smart, and hope their passengers didn’t crack under pressure. It was an egg-citing lesson in force, motion, and engineering! Stay tuned for statistics of cracked eggs!

Science Experiments to Classify Matter

(9/3): This past week in science we used lab experiments to help them understand how to classify matter! We learned about the transitions between solid, liquid, and ice using water in its many different forms. Next, we used several random items to test if the objects were electrical and thermal conductors, magnetic, and reflective. Finally, everyone channeled their inner Bill Nye scientist brain to name unknown (to the students) substances using color, texture, particle size, and its solubility.
