Science Rules!

Science Rules!!!

First/Second Grade:


This block students in first and second grades will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of classes.  In the mornings these children can choose to engage in programming kid friendly robots, learning and discovering space science, or examining different habitats and the plants and animals that live there.  Students are sure to be engaged in these fun classes.


Third/Fourth Grade:


There are several options for our third and fourth grade students this block.  First (and probably much anticipated) is the Geology class.  This has been talked about among students for several weeks as we will take this time to explore minerals, rocks, earthquakes, and volcanoes....and yes, we will be breaking open geodes!  I have added a new class to the mix called "Transportation."  This class will explore the ways people move around the world with some design and engineering sprinkled throughout.  Finally, for those who were not able to enroll last block, Amusement Park Science is back!  Students will be exploring force, motion, speed, and gravity while constructing different types of roller coasters using different materials.

Fifth/Sixth Grade:

Students in 5th and 6th grades were asked what classes they would like to see and their feedback was pretty clear.  So, back by popular demand students will have the opportunity to enroll in Star Wars Space Science this block.  We will pick up where we left off in the NASA BEST Program with our first project to construct a rover.  Students will also have the opportunity to research the "reality" of the Star Wars world (or lack thereof).  Amusement Park Science will also be back this block.  We will continue our exploration how roller coasters work and apply new knowledge to constructing coasters from different materials.  Finally, students will be tasked with constructing cars in Forces, Motion and Speed class.  At the end of the block students will race their cars!

As always, the Science Lab will take your recyclables.  If you are not sure what to donate I have a list to share as guidance.  Also, I am still in need of a volunteer to co-coach the First LEGO League teams.  If you are interested please email me at janette.gallup@franklindiscovery.org.
FYI: Our competition will be Saturday, January 20, 2018 @ Albion Middle School ( more info to follow at a later date ).

Thank you so much for your continued support of the Science Lab and Franklin Discovery Academy.
