Science and Engineering at EES!

Students in 5th grade were given an engineering challenge this week! As they studied gravity, friction, and drag, they needed to design and create a roller coaster with 2 loops and 1 sharp turn. Most of all it needed to be safe (marble cannot fall off the tracks!). Check out these examples from Mr. Skiba's class today! The students had so much fun and learned a great deal. In 2nd grade, students took their science workshop outside. They had 3 stations where they studied the qualities of sand, clay, and humus. They were experimenting with these 3 types of soil to see how each settles when reacting with water.
