Saving fred
Saving fred
Our third graders loved the Save Fred challenge. Students were tasked with developing a plan to save, "Fred," the gummy worm from his overturned raft (the cup). Students were limited by the fact that they had to place Fred in the life preserver (gummy lifesaver) without touching Fred. They used paperclips to flip the cup over, rescue Fred and safely move him to his life preserver. This was a great opportunity to develop problem-solving, grit and perseverance.

Bird Beak Adaptation Lab
Students used various tools to mimic different bird beaks and how they have adapted to find food for survival.
Students used different tools (tweezers, clothespins, nets, slotted spoons, pipettes, etc) to explore which beaks were most beneficial for obtaining a particular diet. This led to great conversations about habitat and food source.
Leaf Lab
Students used spray bottles of water to investigate how leaf shape and waxiness played a role in habitat.
Mimicry
Sparkling mineral water or Sprite? Students assumed the role of a predator searching for prey. They were given 2 cups of liquid.
One liquid was "poisonous" (sparkling mineral water) the other was safe for the predator to consume (Sprite).
Camouflage Day
Students wore camouflage and then colored a butterfly to camouflage in the classroom. Students learned about how plants and animals use camouflage to adapt and survive their environment. Students then tried to locate all of the butterflies camouflaged in the classrooms.

Thank you to Jenny Smith for engaging our students in purposeful application of our math standards. Our students were eager to explore how they could design a gingerbread house floor plan. Students calculated the area of each room.

Skittle Erosion Lab
Skittle Erosion Lab
Students worked to investigate erosion. The Skittle Lab helped to simulate erosion in our classroom.
Students used skittles, a pie tin, a cup of water and a pipette to simulate the effects of water on soil and rocks.
stem in action: rocks and minerals coding challenge
stem in action: rocks and minerals coding challenge
Students worked collaboratively to learn how to code using the Botley robot. They used a 4x4 grid and coding cards to practice programming the robot.
Next, they recorded their paths and entered their codes.

THE ARRAY BAKERY
THE ARRAY BAKERY
Students were challenged to use their multiplication strategies to assume the role of a baker for the day. They worked to find measurements for recipe cards, divide sprinkles into equal groups, decorate a multi-tiered cake using arrays and complete an inventory. Some students accepted the Bakery Challenge to bake and decorate a cake at home!
