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

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

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 2's learning about simple machines! Building vehicles using cardboard, screws (from our Makedo kits) and wheels and axels! @Cassandra_PS.@tdsb @makedo @LC2_TDSB

We love to upcycle items for STEM! Using cardboard, plastic containers and used tennis balls (from a local tennis club) to build pulleys! @Cassandra_PS @LC2_TDSB @LN10Alvarez

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

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

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

Levers, fulcrums and loads! Grade 2s learning about simple machines. the LEVER! After reading Pete the Cat and his 4 Groovy Bittons, students designed, built and tested out their button launchers. @Cassandra_PS @LC2_TDSB @LN10Alvarez

Beavers are amazing engineers and architects!🦫Learning how animals build strong and stable structures in the natural environment. Gr 3s planning. building and testing out their dams. @Cassandra_PS @LC2_TDSB @LN10Alvarez

RT @Cassandra_PS: Thank you Eden Debebe for stopping by and discussing your journey with Cassandra Public School. You've inspired our stude….

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

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

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

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

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

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