Students explored the four earth systems with a deeper inquiry into the geosphere. Each child researched a part of the geosphere and presented a model of their findings.

This activity illustrates the complex web created by trading around the world. We explore what happens when a supply chain is halted and how that can have a ripple effect across the world. 

Students utilized their knowledge of physics to design an egg drop. They incorporated what they learned in math to show the surface area of each side of their drop. They worked with the technology teacher to render 3D drawings. 

Students combined the skills they learned in math, reading, and social studies to create maps of fairytale lands. They used a "plot mountain" to identify the major plot points of their fairytale and help them identify the setting. They created story maps (story boards) to display their knowledge of what items would appear in the setting. 

Students did in depth research about themselves, their families, and their traditions. Students then shared that information with one another and created Venn Diagrams of how they were alike and different from their classmates. 

Students used their knowledge of tension and compression to build forts at home. Students explained how they used their materials to create the tension or compression that held up their forts.

Students worked together to arrange numbers from least to greatest.

Children teamed up to play shape memory to help them associate 2D and 3D shapes with their proper names.

Teams were given various measuring tools and scavenger hunt sheet to use around campus to measure various items. In the picture below, students in the foreground are using their knowledge of measurement to estimate the height of the tree. In the background, another team of students are using a measuring tool to find a precise measurement of an object.
