student work and provide an opportunity for parents to learn more about the middle 

STEM program. The night will run in a mini-conference format for parents and students

 in grades 4-8. During the night, parents and students will be able to attend 3 

sessions of their choice and each topic is offered multiple times.

 

Earth Day & Natural Resources

Mrs. Hall's class had a great week exploring new technology as we learned more about protecting our environment, natural and manmade resources and recycling.  We used WeDo 2.0 to build a recycling truck and Specdrums to identify recyclable and non-recyclable materials around our home. The mini-spheros helped us sort actions that were helpful or harmful to our environment and finally we designed a Bloxels video game where our character captured natural or manmade materials.  What a fun week!

Natural Resources

Today we created video games using Bloxels that showed our characters finding man made or natural resources while they fought off enemies.

Natural Resources

Today we created a model house that would show what items could and could not be recycled.  We wanted to show people how to take care of their natural resources.  Then we coded the Specdrums to make the house model interactive.

Natural Resources

Today we looked at ways to protect our natural resources and then created games with helpful or harmful things for the environment.  We then used the Sphero  minis to play a game knocking out the harmful things.

Natural Resources

Today we used Lego Story Starters to create stop motion videos on how to protect the natural resources on earth.
