4th grade learning from Box Elder Highs Science Students about energy transfer and wave patterns!! So much fun!!
This month our 4th grade LEAP students have been learning about women in STEM. They picked a person to research and then created and presented information about those women. Students focused on the age of these women, what they are known for, how they impacted STEM, and answered the question, “What can we learn from this person?”
Second Grade has loved STEM and learning lots of problem-solving strategies this year. They have learned a great growth mindset and how to keep trying even if something is hard!
Fifth grade had fun in STEM, connecting what they're learning about the American Revolution with an engineering project! Students made their own clotheslines and devised ways to keep the clothes off the ground. They also made up a "code." For instance, if the clothes were hanging in a particular order, it meant, "I'm hungry for a burger and fries." During the Revolution, clothing items in certain orders meant that the Redcoats were near.
Fifth graders participated in a reader's theater on the American Revolution. Great reading and active listening skills!
