1st Grade: Easter Egg Tower STEAM Lab
Our 1st grade students worked as engineers today to build Easter Egg STEAM towers in Science Lab. Students worked in pairs to plan and build their towers, evaluated their construction, and proposed ideas to improve their design. Learning from the Leaning Tower of Pisa, students discussed the importance of a firm foundation for building, just as Christ is the Rock upon which our Christian faith is built.
