BRIDGES!!!! We researched different types of bridges in Magnet for our architecture unit and check out our awesome creations!

[PerlesMagnet/STEAM @perlesmagnet]

Amusement Park season is here...and check out our very own Paper Roller Coasters!!!! #funnel #widecurves #sharpcurves

[PerlesMagnet/STEAM @perlesmagnet]

4th grade Magnet students hard at work designing and constructing their bridges!

Kindergarten Engineering Challenge. After reading "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" in STEAM students built coconut trees that can hold at least 10 letters of the alphabet. #STEAM #balance #engineering

1st grade students designed habitats for the animals at the San Diego Zoo after taking a virtual field trip there.

Ms. Licata's class set the bar high with a very successful Egg Drop this morning! #engineers #collaboration #plan/design/improve/reflect

[PerlesMagnet/STEAM @perlesmagnet]

5th graders testing out our egg drop contraptions with a weighted plastic egg and looking for ways to enhance and improve their designs. Did they survive? #engineers #reflect/improve

[PerlesMagnet/STEAM @perlesmagnet]

5th grade students collaborated to build the tallest tower out of newspaper, cardstock and one brown paper bag that can hold an egg for at least 10 seconds. Check out these towers! #plasticeggfirst #realeggsuccess

What a great start to the next 5th Grade STEAM unit. Students explored how strong eggs really are and their unique shape by stacking up to 22 text books on 4 eggs. As long as the weight and pressure is evenly distributed, those eggs would not crack! #eggdropchallenge

Earthquake Shelters! 2nd grade students learned about earthquakes in STEAM and built shelters that are Earthquake proof. We tested them on a shaky-board. #ask #imagine #plan #create #reflectimprove #fastchanges #earthssurface

5th grade Magnet students did a math challenge for Valentine's Day using Boom Cards to practice PEMDAS and algebraic thinking. #problemsolving #boomcards

[PerlesMagnet/STEAM @perlesmagnet]

Valentines Day Heart Challenge! Build the tallest freestanding structure with the hearts you create. #magnet #creativity #perseverance

[PerlesMagnet/STEAM @perlesmagnet]

3rd grade STEAM students research dinosaurs and made their own pasta skeletons. #STEAM #fossils

[PerlesMagnet/STEAM @perlesmagnet]

Kindergarteners used their firsthand experience on Monday to learn more about the characteristics of blizzards. Check out the igloos they created to keep our Arctic animals safe. #STEAM #blizzards #weather

[PerlesMagnet/STEAM @perlesmagnet]

4th grade Magnet students bringing their creative ideas to life building their new inventions #healthygumballs #switchshoes #glowrope

[PerlesMagnet/STEAM @perlesmagnet]

5th grade Magnet students hard at work building their inventions or prototypes. We can't wait to get the results of our marketing surveys so we can enhance our products! #engineeringdesignprocess #prototype

[PerlesMagnet/STEAM @perlesmagnet]

3rd graders used model magic to create different types of fossils. True Form, Trace, Mold & Cast Fossils. #dinosaurs #fossils #STEAM

[PerlesMagnet/STEAM @perlesmagnet]

Clouds in a Jar Experiment! #kindergarten #STEAM #raininajar #hypothesis

[PerlesMagnet/STEAM @perlesmagnet]

Paleontologists in Mrs. O'Neill's 3rd grade class dug for fossils and tried to classify the fossils by the time period they came from. #paleozoic #mesozoic #cenozoic

[PerlesMagnet/STEAM @perlesmagnet]

Kindergarteners learned about wind and created windsocks that we tested outside. #windsocks #winddirection #speed
