What to do in science class on a really hot day?? Make S'mores in our DIY solar ovens!! Gr 4/5s learning about energy forms and sources. Temperature in ovens reached 63.5°C (147°F). S'mores were delicious and enjoyed by all! @Cassandra_PS @tdsb

Gr4 Machines and their Mechanisms....We jazzed up our pool noodle push pin gears by adding some fun characters to take for a spin!! @Cassandra_PS @tdsb

[Cassandra PS Library & STEM @CassandraSTEM]

Grade 4s learning about gears!⚙️⚙️ Using pool noodles, push pins, corks and bottle lids to make gears. Part 2 of the project coming soon.... @Cassandra_PS @LC2_TDSB

Gr.3's learning about strong and stable structures. Using cardboard and screws (from @makedo kit) to build structures we use everyday. @Cassandra_PS @LC2_TDSB

[Cassandra PS Library & STEM @CassandraSTEM]

Grade 2s enjoyed the book “After the Fall”. Then they were given a simple machines pulley challenge - Design and build an elevator to bring Humpty Dumpty back up the wall. @Cassandra_PS @LC2_TDSB

Gr. 5 Forces Acting on Structures. Designing and constructing bridges that withstand internal and external forces. @Cassandra_PS @LC2_TDSB

[Cassandra PS Library & STEM @CassandraSTEM]

Grade 5s busy constructing bridges made out of jinks wood and craft sticks. Learning to use saws and mitre box for cutting the wood. Final products to come....@Cassandra_PS @kiddereducation

[Cassandra PS Library & STEM @CassandraSTEM]

Gr 4 fixed pulley challenge. Create a working flagpole with binder clips, dowel, Plastecine, cardboard and index card. Success!! @Cassandra_PS @LC2_TDSB @LN10Alvarez

Friction and gravity! Grade 3's exploring Forces and Motion. Designing and building their very own marble runs by upcycling household items and containers. Those Friday lunch pizza boxes came in very handy! @Cassandra_PS @LC2_TDSB @LN10Alvarez

[Cassandra PS Library & STEM @CassandraSTEM]

Grade 2's learning about solids and liquids. Melting crayons into different shapes... a fun way to learn about changes of matter...from solid to liquid and back to a solid! @Cassandra_PS @LC2_TDSB @LN10Alvarez

[Cassandra PS Library & STEM @CassandraSTEM]

Our kindergarten's loved listening to our Forest of Reading book...Princess Pru and the Ogre on the Hill. They created their own ogres who are ready to party! 🎊🎈.@ForestofReading @maureenfergus @Cassandra_PS

Chemical changes happening in Cassandra's kitchen! Baking cookies with the grade 5's and seeing the changes in states of matter.🍪 @Cassandra_PS @LN10Alvarez

[Cassandra PS Library & STEM @CassandraSTEM]

Grade 3's learning about Forces and Motion....magnetic force edition! Students having some fun designing and making their magnetic mazes showing how this non contact force works! @Cassandra_PS @tdsb

[Cassandra PS Library & STEM @CassandraSTEM]

Aluminum foil boats designed and built by Cassandra's gr 2 engineers. A fun experiment to learn about solids, liquids and buoyancy! 🛶💧@cassandra_PS @LC2_TDSB @TDSB_STEM

[Cassandra PS Library & STEM @CassandraSTEM]

After reading the book "Be a Maker" our Kindergaretn engineeres started making and building their own creations! @Cassandra_PS
