STEM Lab


Our class is back in the STEM lab! 

Last week the second grade was able to explore the river simulator table.The students worked in small groups to strategically place rocks and sponges, that acted as trees and shrubs, to protect their homes from erosion/flooding damages. The river started out as a normal spring stream and then slowly intensified to flood conditions. 

The students were able to take note of what worked and what they needed to improve to protect their homes for a second trial.
