Our Third Grade Students and their Parents had a STEM-tastic Parent's Day, working on collaborative STEM projects. In Grade 3 White, the students and their parents worked on a STEM project using only marshmallows and toothpicks to create the tallest geometric shape they could create. They learned that stability was a key element in their structure. They had to keep supporting it in order for it not to fall or sink. They also learned a strong base made for a sturdy structure. Grade 3 Blue students and their parents collaborated on a seasonal STEM snowflake project. They worked together to create a symmetrical snowflake using the provided materials (craft sticks, pipe cleaners, toothpicks, and cotton swabs). The children were given a Snowflake Journal to complete. Each snowflake was beautiful and unique, just like each of our Third Grade students!
