"STEM"ific Science

The S in STEM stands for Science! So what happens when science lessons take on a STEM twist? They become "STEM"ific.

The fifth grade students have been very busy learning about energy. What better way to study sound energy than to complete a STEM challenge! Could you design a musical instrument that could produce three different tones using simple supplies. These fifth graders could!




Check out some of the explorations these students completed to learn about the various types and forms of energy.


The force of gravity is amazing!

What happens if we lower the ramp?

Does the car have energy now?

This position gives the car potential energy!

Good thing we have safety glasses!

Waiting for that potential energy to turn into kinetic energy.



WOW - There is goes!

Getting ready to tap into some chemical energy!
