After researching plate tectonics, the effects of seismic waves on structures, and why buildings in Nepal might fail in an earthquake, sixth graders finished the year in science class with an engineering challenge. They designed structures on paper, as well as in Tinkercad 3D design...
Our second grade scientists took on the challenge of stopping erosion! After learning about weathering and real-world coastal issues, students designed and built model islands using erosion solutions inspired by real engineers. Will their creations survive the storm? Stay tuned as the hurricane simulation hits! ...
The second grade scientists wrapped up the unit on States of Matter by designing their own experiments. The students worked in groups to generate their own inquiry question, and then planned and conducted a final experiment. Our questions explored the properties of solids and liquids...
Students began their exploration of five unknown materials, using their refined observation skills. With what they've learned about the characteristics of life, they decided adding water to the materials may help them decide if something is living or non-living. ...
Our Second Grade Scientists are exploring the properties of the states of matter. Every investigation starts with a guiding question. In this experiment we are observing how liquids and solids change in containers. ...
It's been an exciting week in 7th grade as our students dove into the world of waves! They explored light and sound through hands-on modeling with ropes, measuring properties like wavelength and amplitude. By combining observations using multiple senses, they deepened their understanding of scientific...
Mr. U brought the magic (via science) of sound to our Grade 3 Music & Drama Classroom! From water experiments to singing bowls and tuning forks, we felt the vibrations of music everywhere! ...
The AP Physics 2 students are working collaboratively to master the concepts of fluid dynamics. ...
Students had loads of fun while learning in their ASA "Become a Scientist Through Discovery" where each week they explored scientific topics through hands-on experiments. ...
What is better than throwing hundreds of ping-pong balls inside an enclosed space? When the activity models the process of dynamic chemical equilibrium! Grade 5 students helped high school students taking AP Chemistry understand this complex scientific phenomenon by creating a kinesthetic model using ping...
