Circuit Art
Not everyone finished their fabulous work of light up or vibration motor art to get a GIF made, but a few did! Check out their fun circuit art!
Building Circuits
Building Circuits
Lighting bulbs, building circuit testers, and becoming a human circuit were all part of our Circuit Day 2. Take a peek as students try to find the most effecient way to light a bulb with a bag full of distractors.Â
Paper Animations
Paper Animations
We were missing half of our class today, so students that were here had a chance to be very creative! Check out their hard work on their very own paper animations!

Food Batteries
What do you get when you add electrons, curious minds, and batteries? Our New GT unit! Students started our "Bright Ideas" unit where they will be conducting experiments to learn about electric circuits. Students started by learning about batteries and even created their own food batteries. This class officially lit up LEDs using potatoes, lemons, and pickles!
Student Presentations
Student Presentations
Did you know that we are still discovering new species? 4th graders researched species that have only recently been discovered. We don't know much about some of them, but students had a good chance to infer and justify their thinking! In addition to research, they created adaptation videos, wrote poetry, and created slides to teach about the creature. Check out all of their hard work in their presentations!
Squid Dissection🦑
Squid Dissection🦑
What do you get when you have squid and curious kids? Science! Students had the chance to check out real squid anatomy as they completed a squid dissection. What a great way to see animal adaptations. Thank you to all the parent volunteers and to Mrs. Duerksen and Mrs. Thompson (Vallivue's previous GT teacher and aide)!Â
Ocean Zones
Ocean Zones
Fourth graders researched, prioritized, and wrote their own scripts to teach and entertain an audience. They then directed, and acted in green screen video. Editing may have been the most difficult part. Check out their hard work in the videos below

Lego Skyscrapers
Skyscrapers vs. Earthquakes! Students used what they have learned in this engineering unit to build a structure that could withstand an earthquake. Wow! Can you believe that 5 out of 6 of the structures couldn't be destroyed? In the afternoon, the structures that survived faced hurricane force winds. Check out the deep thinking and awesome designs that were put to the test.
Skyscraper Documentaries
Skyscraper Documentaries
Learn more about the amazing skyscrapers found around the world. Students put their research, movie production, and creativity skills to the test with these documentaries.Â

Pasta Structures
Students have been exploring structural forces such as compression and tension. How can engineers create strong AND tall structures while combatting these forces? Check out our 4th grade engineers creating with materials that made them very aware of those forces!Â
Animated Vocabulary
Animated Vocabulary
What do you get when you add movement and simple images? Animated GIFs, of course. Students worked hard to figure out the essential elements of a vocab word and represent it in a GIF. Can you tell which vocab word is represented?
Testing Structural Forces
Testing Structural Forces
Students tested a variety of materials to rate their strength in tension, compression, and torsion in an activity called Tug, Push, Twist - o-War. Which material would be the best to create a bridge for a mouse?
