Fifth graders creating towers with pipe cleaners.

Students have been having fun while learning about science.
Kindergartners and first graders are learning the difference between toys and science tools.
Second graders are using different materials like plastic, paper, foil, and cardboard to create a house.
Third graders are exploring force and motion by testing Hotwheels on a track. They measure the distance the car travels when there is a different slope.
Fourth graders are testing a variety of materials to see if they attract to a magnet or not.
Fifth grade created towers using pipe cleaners and tape.

The challenge is to build the largest tower your group can with 15 pipe cleaners and 1 foot of tape. It was harder that they thought it would be.

Our third through fifth graders worked on teamwork. They had to create a pyramid without touching the cups. They had to communicate and work as a group to be successful at the task.

Our Kindergarteners, first, and second graders had fun stacking cups. They had to try to build the tallest tower. It was challenging but they needed to keep trying to make it just one cup higher.

I am excited to be teaching science to all the students at Miller. Each week your child will come to the science room where we will do a hands-on activity. The activity will be a science or engineering activity that enhances what they are learning about in their classroom science program.

This week we are learning the rules and procedures of the science classroom. The kindergarten, first, and second graders are challenging themselves to build cup towers. They are being encouraged to believe in themselves and try again when the cups fall over.

The third, fourth, and fifth graders will be working together in groups to make cup pyramids without touching the cups. They have to use the rubberband device to move the cups. They are working on using teamwork to accomplish a task.

We had a great time with Market Day. The students did a wonderful job making products to sell. We sold out of everything we were selling.
