Our 2nd graders put their engineering skills to the test in the Media Center by designing marble mazes to explore force and motion! 🔵🚀 Students investigated how pushes, pulls, gravity, and changes in direction affect movement. Hands-on STEAM learning in action! 💡 @DrJohnsonSPARK @sarapruett5 @cadycrew @APS_SPARK

🏝️ Our SPARK kindergarten students are thinking like engineers! After creating clay models of islands, they are using their STEAM journals to reflect, write, and explain how they would improve their designs. Young innovators learning that great designs get even better! 💚 @APS_SPARK @DrJohnsonSPARK @sarapruett5 @mrsdavisrocks

✨🏡 Our 5th graders are combining science, art, and writing as they create magical fairy houses using vascular and nonvascular plants! 🌿🍄 Their creations will light up our SPARK Garden Lights event, raising funds for @IntownCares! 💚@DrJohnsonSPARK @sarapruett5 @APS_SPARK

Our 4th graders took a trip through the universe in the StarLab planetarium! Students explored the planets in our solar system, reviewed their unique characteristics, and strengthened their understanding of space as they prepared for their upcoming science test. Learning is out of this world at SPARK! @DrJohnsonSPARK @sarapruett5 @APS_SPARK

Falling leaves and growing mathematicians! 🍂🍁 Inspired by Fletcher and the Falling Leaves, our SPARK students combined literacy and math by creating their own fall-themed word problems in their journals! @MelSapp22 @DrJohnsonSPARK @sarapruett5 @APS_SPARK
