Coaster Craze

Check out our young 5th grade engineers! They had to design a coaster that they think will be able to come to a stop at the end of the track without flying off.They tried their plan on a coaster simulator and will then be creating 3D models - all while staying under budget! Coaster Craze part 2 Using the design from the coaster simulator, students created 3D models. The challenge: Create a coaster with just enough energy (kinetic/potential) to have the train (marble) make it to the end of the track without going over. Safe brake systems and energy manipulation had to be used to survive this challenge.

Monster Robots!

Today students built robots from a plan,modified monsterfied them, and programmed them. Check out the crazy monster robots!

Fish Eyes!

Students went "fishing" in the deep today while exploring animal adaptations and how the light spectrum changes in water. Check out our Fish-eyed students during this science experiment.

Coaster Thrills!

5th grade engineers designed roller coasters today to test some physics. Take a peek!

Ode, oh wonderful ode. . .

Today students took time to appreciate the simple things in life! We wrote odes to "things" that make us happy. Check out the creativity!
