STEM Around Brooklyn

PreK

In continuing to learn about being healthy, PreK learned about their eyes. They learned the colored part of your eye is called the iris, and the black center is the pupil.

Kindergarten

Kindergarten learned a lot about shadows when talking about Groundhog's Day. They even brought flashlights to make shadows of their own, then did some flashlight reading!

First Grade

First grade has been working hard on their Animal Adaptations PLTW. They tested out various "beak" types to see which beaks worked best for different purposes.

Second Grade

2nd grade has moved onto dinosaurs! So far, they have learned the different types of dinosaurs, and the 4 types of fossils that have been discovered. Then, they made fossils of dinosaurs!

Third Grade

3rd grade finally got to use VEX kits to build machines to rescue the tiger!

Fourth Grade

4th graders made volcanoes in a jar during their Valentine's Day party!
