STEM

This week the fourth graders continued exploring energy. We focus on wind energy this week. We read a true story about a young boy in Africa who built his own windmill to help bring electricity to his village. He also ended up helping to bring water to the crops with a windmill. Students investigated and discovered how windmills work and how the wind makes them move. Finally students began to make their own windmills in groups. The students had two requirements: The windmill had to work when the actual wind was blowing on it and it had to remain standing during the wind.

This week third grade had an awesome field trip this past week. We went to the Columbus Municipal Airport. Students were able to see real world applications to what they have been learning in class. Students were able to go inside of a retired military C-119 and learn how it was used when it was active. They also were able to spend time in the museum. Students enjoyed getting to see parts of some planes being built. They also were able to build a blended wing to fly right on the spot. After the field trip, at school we built our first version of our own gliders, we were able to go out and fly them.
