Science, Valentine's Day Fun, and more Science!

 We've been busy at school during the past month! Check out some pictures of our learning and fun.

Save the Snowman Challenge

Our class participated in districts' Save the Snowman Challenge. We learned about thermal conductors and insulators, then brainstormed ideas, and constructed a container we thought could protect a chocolate covered marshmallow snowman from melting under the heat of a blow torch. Check it out!

Protecting our container with duct tape.


Measuring and insulating our container with styrofoam.

The container is ready to be put under fire! Will our snowman survive?


See the burning container? Uh oh. Doesn't look good for our snowman.


Turns out electric tape and duct tape are flammable. BUT our insulated layers worked, and our snowman survived! Mission accomplished.


Valentine's Party Fun!








Space Science

We made our own sun dials and learned how to tell time by using the position of the sun and our shadows.
