Mrs. Boccia's 8th grade science class created these intricate STEM projects on forces, simple machines and motion. The students were given a choice of many different activities to choose from. Some even submitted a proposal for a free-choice activity they prepared on their own. Shown here are just some of their finished products which include a "Rescue Pulley" made from legos, crane, lever, a drawing of the hippocampus – the part of the brain that holds memories and so much more…

Check out our first grade's beautiful landform projects! The students in Miss Murphy's class were given the choice of four different landforms to explore: mountains, volcanoes, plateaus or valleys. In exploring their chosen landform, they had to answer the following questions: What is a landform? What is a volcano/mountain/valley/plateau? What does this landform look like? Where can this landform be found? How is this landform created? The children were also asked to create a 3-D model of their landform. They used household items to make a simple model. Some examples of items used were: paper towel rolls, tissue paper, tissue boxes, cardboard and legos.

Today, our Kindergartens received a special visit from our fourth graders! Each kindergartener was asked a series of survey questions as our fourth graders collected data for their upcoming graphing project! Some survey questions included: What is your favorite animal? Sport? Snack? Ice cream? Meal? They had a great time working together! 😊📊📝
