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. 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
