Ping Pong Rollercoaster

These first graders spent many days constructing this ping pong rollercoaster.  Here they are trying to identify a problem and figure out how to solve it.


So, what did they do to solve this problem?  They decided to build a wall rather than leaving their hand in place.

Density

Why do these liquids form such distinct layers?  The sixth graders are learning about why things float in order to build boats out of aluminum foil to hold a certain number of pennies. 


Bee Research

Fourth graders have been working on a huge research project to figure out how a swarm of bees would have known that their queen was stuck in a car.  Here they are putting the finishing touches on their museum exhibits.  These exhibits will be placed in the school library for all to see.





Pumpkin Contest


Thanks to the second graders for designing our pumpkin based on the book Stuck. We won third place in the pumpkin contest!
