Technology

At first we thought that technology was things that have batteries, wires or use electricity. But now we know that technology is almost anything created to solve a problem or meet a need.

Happy Halloween!

Exploring Movement

Today our class went to the Engineering Lab to explore different types of movement. Our exploration began with the scholars sharing what they knew about movement with our STEM coach, Mrs. Brenegan. Scholars then explored back and forth, round and round, fast/slow, straight and zig zag and up and down. Several scholars discovered that some items move in more than one way!
