The Way We Walk

Today our FPD 3rd graders made leg models using dowels, rubber bands, paper clips, rubber tubing, and popsicle sticks.  We also played a game of Christmas trivia and talked about how far many of the nativity characters had to walk in the Biblical accounts of Jesus' birth found in Matthew and Luke.  Merry Christmas from the FPD Elementary Science Lab!

Mystery Science

Today our FPD first graders used their 5 senses and their investigation skills to solve fun science mysteries, like "What's in the Sock?" and "Do You Hear What I Hear?"  So fun!!!! 

Eggstreme Engineering!

 This week our FPD 5th graders had a special STEAM challenge to tackle!  Students were asked to create an ELF TRANSPORT SYSTEM that could safely drop an egg from the High School Bridge to the ground using a variety of materials such as balloons, tape, newspaper, straws, rubber bands, and more.
