In science students reviewed Force, Energy and Motion with a focus on magnets and simple machines. Third graders went on a field trip to Colvin Run Mill where they were able to see simple machines at work. Students learned about fire safety through classroom lessons and a special visit from a local firefighter. Students will rotate through the third grade classrooms participating in a variety of scientific experiments and activities. More details will be forthcoming.
Teachers come prepared with information about classes and students' progress.
