Students in third grade participated in Discovery Museum's Earth Science Workshop where they learned about the three different types of rock (Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic) and how they are formed. This hands-on lesson had our 3rd graders learn how to grow crystals, how weathering and erosion differ, and create their own sediment tube.

Winter themed teamwork. In PE this week we built hula hoop igloos (hula huts) as teams and then participated in a team relay to gather equipment to construct a winter scene. It was an excellent opportunity for teamwork, creativity and physical activity all in one. It's amazing what they came up with!

In 2B's Valentine's STEM project, students explored and then kept in mind the four properties of flight when designing and constructing paper airplanes. The goal was to build a paper plane (with a bonus secret message written inside) to fly the farthest. Students used meters and inches to measure flight distance.
