Kindergarten: Math in the Science Classroom

Kindergartners have been learning about the properties of matter. This week, students made observations about the size and weight of different objects. Students used pan balances to compare the weights of objects and made observations about the lengths of various objects. Click here for more pictures from science.

2nd Grade: Engineering in the Science Classroom

Second graders are engineers! Students completed their study of plants and insects with an engineering project. Through the Engineering Design Process, second graders designed hand pollinators to solve a problem. They worked with a partner as they tested materials, designed a plan, created their pollinator, and brainstormed ways to improve their design. Ask your students about agricultural engineering and how they solve problems with plants and insects! Click here for more pictures and movies from our project. 

4th Grade: Energy Crisis

Fourth graders researched alternative energy sources and chose one type to create a Public Service Announcement. Students worked collaboratively in groups of three to decide on the three reasons their source is the best. After researching, students used the Digital Media Center in the Library to film their PSAs on the green screen. It was a new and creative way for students to communicate their research with the class. Click on the 4th Grade tab above to view all of the PSAs. Click here for more pictures from 4th grade science.
