First grade students have been talking about types of energy, sound, light, and heat. For sound, the students were asked to make an instrument from things they could find at home. The students made banjos, maracas, shakers, and guitars!
STEM Activity - The "E" in STEM stands for Engineering, and our 4th grade students built bridges utilizing only pennies. Certain height and width requirements had to be met, along with a freestanding time frame of at least 10 seconds. Students were then challenged to put Lego characters on top of their bridges to see if they could withstand some small weight. If successful, larger and more complex bridges were encouraged to be built.
