Inferring the Meaning of Words

For our Junior Great Books story, The Turquoise Horse, we collaborated to infer the meaning of words. We used text clues to help us define unfamiliar words from the story.

Today's Meet and Science

We used Today's Meet today in science to communicate our thinking about heat transfer in various photographs. We found Today's Meet to be a great way to collaborate and share our ideas. We learned a lot from this short activity, and this wasn't even the most important part of our lesson!

Types of Engineering

We've been researching types of engineering in the STEM Academy this week. Each team presented the findings from their research to the rest of the STEM Academy. We voted on which type of engineer we would most like to be when we grow up. We learned a lot about engineering and what qualities are important for each type of engineer.

Matter or Non-matter?

We discussed the properties of matter today after we sorted objects by whether we thought they were matter or non-matter. The activity was eye-opening and helped us to understand the basics of matter in our universe.
