Kindergartners are learning about push and pulls. This week they are using a straw to push a paper clip and a block across the table. The are learning some things need more force than others to move.

1St graders are learning about sounds. This week we are making loud and soft sounds. They are also sorting pictures of sounds based on loud or soft.

Second graders are finally creating mats that can hold water, do not leak, and do not slide. We have learned about the properties of waters and the materials in the mat. They have to create the best mat using what they have learned.

Third graders are mixing materials together and measuring the mass. They learn that the mass of the 2 individual materials is equal to the mass of the mixture.

Fourth graders are learning about potential energy stored in roller coaster hills. Next week we will experiment with hills and plan the perfect bumper car coaster.

Fifth graders are working with salt solutions. They are measuring the mass of the mixture, looking at salt after the water dissolves, and finding the sturation point of salt water.

Fifth graders are learning about mixtures. They had to observe the properties of materials, the mixture, and figure out how to separate them.

Fourth graders are learning about potential and kinetic energy. They are making a bumper coaster.

First graders are learning how sound is made. We have listened to sounds, felt them, and saw the vibrations.

Kindergarteners are having fun learning about pushes and pulls.

Kindergarteners began learning about pushes and pulls. We pushed and puller cars and balls with a partner.

Third graders have been learning about force and motion. We have been experimenting with how helicopters land. We want them to land slowly. We tested propellers and created our own to see if we could make it slower falling. Some groups were successful and others were not but everyone had fun designing propellers.

Third graders made cars. They had to roll at least 2 meters. It was not as easy as they thought it would be.
