Making Ten

In kindergarten, we made bracelets of ten beads.  These can be used to show all of the ways to make ten.

World's Largest Animals

In fifth grade, we studied some of the largest animals on earth.  We created a graphic of their height or length in a ration of one inch to one foot.  We drew ourselves using the same ration.

SLIME

In second grade, we made slime.  We learned that it was not a solid, liquid, or gas, but rather something called non-Newtonian fluid.  It acts like both a solid and a liquid.



Screaming Balloons

In fourth grade, we created "screaming balloons."  By adding a hex nut to a balloon, we learned about centripetal force (center seeking motion) and vibration.  When the balloon is swirled, the sound is like that of a scream.

Read all about and then...

Read those newspapers and then please send them to L.E.A.D.  We can use them for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) lessons.  Thanks!

Berry College Eagles

Last year, we watched the Berry College Eagle Cam.  The parent eagles laid two eggs.  One hatched, and we were able to see the eaglet grow up and then fly away.  This year, the parent eagles are back.  The eagle cam is back up and working.  On September 11, the eagles were seen sleeping in the nest.  Please visit the eagle cam often to keep up to date on their behaviors.  We will check it from time to time in LEAD as well.
