MS SCIENCE ACTIVITIES: Recently, 7th and 8th grades participated in STEM challenges. In one challenge they were to make the tallest free-standing tower out of index cards. The tallest was 9 stories tall. In another challenge, they were to make the longest paper chain out of only one piece of paper. The 7th grade class was the overall winner. Currently, 7th grade is learning about simple and complex molecules by creating models, which show us the type and number of atoms in a molecule. One weekly STEM activity: properties of matter & measurement - create the largest table bubble, measure diameter of the bubble print as evidence. Challenge winners tied at 15 inches! 6th Grade Science studied energy transfer and insulation. As part of learning about conduction, reflection, and insulation students designed a device that would use reflection, conduction and insulation properties to cook a s'more. We designed solar ovens. All outside pics are of our solar oven project . Our test recipe was s'mores. The classroom picture is of their groups collaborating on design. Great job students! |
