STEM in 5th Grade

Last week was full of STEM learning for us.  STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

Thursday, we shared our novel engineering projects with each other.  I was so impressed by everyone's creativity and growth mindset around problem solving.  Here are some pictures from our share:







Friday, we went on a field trip to Clayton High School for STEM Day with the other elementary's fifth graders.  We learned so much from all of the stations: aerodynamics, planetary science, electronics, robotics, biomed, coding, and mathematics.  Check out some of the fun:
Using Bloxels to design a video game.








Using a special pen to draw an electronic circuit pathway.

The CHS robotics team let us play with their robot!

Learning about the heart with a real sheep heart in the lab.


Learning about heart rates.

Building cubes.



Blueprint challenge.

Coding for Ozobots

Catch!

Learning about airplane design and aerodynamics.

I wish I had one of these cool gizmos that you can use to fly your paper airplane!
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and I look forward to another exciting week!
