3rd graders were structural engineers this week. They designed and built landslide barriers. They had 3 criterias: (1) Use at least 3 different materials, (2) Sediment from the landslide must not touch the cars, (3) No debris on the road. 🚧🚨

Our 3rd graders used science tools (hand lenses, loupes, and Smartscopes) to observe soil samples and describe the components of each sample.

Had a great time at the Convocation! It was inspiring to see all the passionate educators ready to kick off the school year. The energy was high and the student performances were impressive! A great reminder of why we do what we do! Year 17, let's go! #NISDConvocation

Today at Science Adventure Camp, students showed and described how electrical energy moved through a closed circuit to produce light and heat. They also recognized and classified materials as either conductors or insulators of thermal and electrical energy. @NISDElemScience

After reading I Survived the Sinkjng of the Titanic 1912, students received passenger tickets and researched their assigned travelers. Before learning their fates, they predicted survival based on ticket class and other clues.

These dedicated students gave up their recess to clean up trash on the playground, bringing their own supplies to get the job done. They proudly call themselves FTE, short for "Friend of the Earth."

It was Kite Day in 3rd Grade today! 🎏 Our third graders explored energy and force in a hands-on way. They observed how wind energy creates lift and how forces like gravity and tension affect flight. It was a fun and exciting way to see science in action!

The little people designed and built model rollercoasters to explore the principles of force and energy. Through hands-on experimentation, they investigated how gravity, friction, and the conversion between potential and kinetic energy affected the motion of their coasters.

Thanks for the visit Mr. Blount! My students had a wonderful time! They enjoyed listening to you read!
Board member @bobbyblount22 visited Northwest Crossing! He read to Ms. Acap’s third-grade class and Mrs. Ellis’ first-grade class, bringing stories to life and inspiring a love for reading. Thank you for supporting our community and literacy!
