Third grade students took part in measuring their winter vegetables such as spinach, kale, and cabbage during Greenhouse time with Mrs. Banks. 🌿🌱
Fifth graders enjoyed their trip to The Pink Palace Museum of Science & History. During their visit students were able to view a film in the planetarium, explore the museum, and participate in a shark dissection lab rotation. 🔬🌎
The sky is the limit in STEM classes with Mr. Jones. Students constructed and launched paper airplanes which teaches the manipulation of paper into 3-D objects and mathematical calculations of distance. 🛫🛬

'Tis the season to be thankful and generous!
Donnie Williams, a third-grade student, brought four pairs of shoes to give his fellow classmate, Sadie West, for her birthday. Donnie showed kindness and generosity and in response, Sadie showed her thankfulness.
Students in Ms. Waldrip's class were given a mission to save their Thanksgiving turkeys. They had to disguise their turkey so it would not get eaten on Thanksgiving!
Kindergarten had the best time experiencing their first ever STEM Day at MST!!!
In this opening unit during STEM Lab, students will begin to explore aeronautics by brainstorming what they know about air, air pressure, and things that fly. They will investigate what air can do when it is under pressure. To reinforce the concept of air pressure and dive into high and low pressure, students will examine how birds fly in this unit. Students will explore how the shape of a bird's wing creates differences in air pressure that lift the bird into the air. They will even get an understanding of taxidermy by examining a pheasant! How cool is that?!?!?!
Please join us this Thursday 🌿🍃
Flying Pumpkins
In Ms. Miller's GT class, students created catapults to launch pumpkins. Students were given supplies and constructed their own catapults. The groups then competed to see whose catapult launched their pumpkins the farthest., and of course they had to pull out that tape measure to be exact!
We are still dreaming about how much good last week was! From Red Ribbon Week, to fall parties, to dress up days, and to all the STEM-azing fun we had!

Ms. Sagaskey’s class had a fun filled week learning all about apples and their five senses thanks to Ms. Perez, her student intern. The kids had a blast doing hands on activities and even had an apple tasting!
Pumpkin Jack Explorations!
Ms. Waldrip's class read the book "Pumpkin Jack" and carved a pumpkin. Over the next few months, they will be observing the changes to the pumpkin! Its only been a week and they have already noticed some changes!
6th graders took their ratios out to the greenhouse!
They compared the ratio of several flowers by picking the petals and comparing them. It's really great having a greenhouse around so you can practice your math skills surrounded by growing things!
