Learning About Heat Transfer — with a Sweet Twist! 🔥🧪

Panthers in Ms. Reeder's class explored heat transfer through a variety of hands-on Science stations!

Students learned about conduction, convection and radiation as they rotated through activities around the room. They created and sorted magazine-picture collages, worked together to expand their understanding of heat transfer, and even participated in a hands-on station where they got to make S’MORES! 🍫🔥

Needless to say, the scientists had a great time learning—and they have already asked if they can make S’MORES again! 😂

Science is always better when you can learn by doing! 🔬✨

Our 3rd grade Panthers have been studying the Lewis and Clark Expedition and recently got a hands-on look at history! 🗺️🐾

Students explored artifact replicas and learned more about what the items were, how they were used, and what they can tell us about life during the expedition. They even got to try their hand at writing with a quill and ink, just like people did in the early 1800s! ✒️📜

Panthers in Mrs. Frankenbach’s Forensics class got a firsthand look at the science behind fingerprinting! Officers from the Palmyra Police Department visited the class to discuss fingerprinting and demonstrate different fingerprinting techniques.

What a great opportunity for our Panthers to connect classroom learning with real-world applications! 👮‍♂️🔬🧤

Thank you to Officer Miller and Officer Rathbone for sharing their knowledge and experience with our students!

Learning Science on the Move! 📏

Mrs. Frankenbach’s science class put their creativity and measurement skills to the test by making their own hodometers! Panthers then took their creations around the school and outside on the football field to measure different distances and see just how accurate their homemade devices were.

A fun, hands-on way to put science and math into action! 🔬
