8th gr students @TheVilleSMS completed the Save the Penguins Project! They tested conductors/insulators, created convection currents and built a penguin( ice penguin)house to reduce heat loss. Thank you @NJSEFinfo for the grant!

Why do we see color? SS enjoyed experimenting with different colored lights. It’s not easy to sort M&M’s under red, green and blue lights! @TheVilleSMS @scotthade

Super Bowl STEM-create a field goal post and football with given materials while following certain criteria and constraints. Can you flick the paper football through and make a field goal? Planning, cooperation and decision making led to a fun activity. @TheVilleSMS

Never forget that students, even the ones who try your patience, are just trying to figure out life. I have been around long enough to see some of them as adults & was amazed to see the wonderful adults they became. Patience is needed, especially for those who try your patience.
