Third and fourth graders took science outdoors, building parachutes to protect an egg dropped from fifteen feet, testing their creativity and knowledge of forces while cheering each other on.
The third and fourth graders brought the science classroom to life while studying forces last Friday and took to the great outdoors. Each student was tasked in creating a parachute. Their goal, protect the egg at all costs! Students put their creativity and science knowledge to the test using any material they wished to keep their egg safe when dropped from the height of fifteen feet. Students cheered one another on and waited with great anticipation as each egg carrier was opened to see if their egg survived the drop without a crack!
When asked what was their favorite part of the project:
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Mrs. Kelsey Yeager
C.S. Lewis’ The Abolition of Man (1943) is a classic of classical education. While its clunky subtitle (Reflections on education with special reference to the teaching of English in the upper forms of schools) suggests a more immediate concern.
On the heels of a successful run of Disney's The Jungle Book KIDS, I sat down with Mrs. Rebekah Kurth, our theater arts teacher and director, to hear her stories and glean wisdom about the value of a theater arts program.
When we consider creation, we are drawn into wonder and worship of the Creator. This year our students saw the glory of God through star parties, a scale model of the solar system, the San Francisco Bay, and the Hayward Fault.
