In Campbell County History the third grade students also go to the Rockpile Musuem. The Rockpile Museum is a place that has all sorts of old fashioned items such as old sheepwagons, drawings, and paintings. When the students get to the museum, they go on a scavenger hunt. The students search for items in the various rooms and answer several questions about the past. In science the third grade classes do projects working with recyclable plastic.
Some students make robots, flowerpots, cookie jars, aliens, and spaceships.
After the projects are finished the third graders learn about recycling. They learn to sort garbage, placing it in proper containers. Then each third class writes a letter to the city newspaper editor about all the ways garbage can be recycled. Some of the things we made were robots, experiments, decorations, bird feeders, a pooper scooper, an hour glass and piggy banks. After discussing what we can do we made a list.
