Welcome!
Our 3rd Graders got to kick off November in the S.T.R.E.A.M. Lab by making Crystals in a Cup! This gave us an introduction to how we set up an experiment using a Hypothesis, taking exact notes with our Experiment Check-Ins, as well as writing a conclusion and discussing what was a success and what we would change. We learned as Scientists it is important to understand that when things don't work the first, second, or third time in an experiment, it just means there is more exploring to do!
Up Next...
We are becoming Engineers and learning how to build bridges that can withstand different forces (balanced and unbalanced) by using Natural Disasters that can occur in different areas. By studying and researching the weather and climate in certain areas, we will be able to build a bridge that can withstand the elements in an area! When we are ready we will build our bridges and test them in our Maker's Space!
Keep Exploring,
Ms. Gillis
