Our Room Has Gone MARBLES for STEM!
Funded Dec 29, 2023Your decision to support education by funding our STEM project has helped energize our classroom and make learning FUN! The day our materials arrived, the room was buzzing with excitement. Students could not wait to explore - they immediately began building. Working in groups, they solved problems, set challenges, and LEARNED. After the initial exploration, concepts such as kinetic and potential energy were introduced.
Having the materials in our classroom means that everyone has the chance to develop scientific concepts together. Students seek out the Lego sets and marble runs whenever possible. Students in 3rd grade are asked to plan and carry out investigations while making observations. Understanding that there can be multiple forces acting on an object is crucial. Using these marble runs is not only setting the marbles in motion, it is setting our learning in motion. Thank you!”
With gratitude,
