🌿🐒 STREAM Adventure Spotlight! 🌟
Our students stepped into the shoes of Dr. Jane Goodall during The Watcher STREAM Adventure! After reading The Watcher: Jane Goodall’s Life with the Chimps, students learned how Jane used patience, observation, curiosity, and empathy to understand chimpanzees and discover that they use tools just like humans!
Then… it was THEIR turn to invent! 💡🪲
Students designed and engineered their own bug-collecting tools without using their hands! They tested, redesigned, collaborated, failed forward, tried again, and CELEBRATED every success. 🙌
Just look at the creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork happening in these photos! 📸✨
We are so proud of our young scientists, engineers, and compassionate thinkers. 💚
🔍 Essential Question:
How can we observe, problem-solve, and invent like Jane Goodall?
🧠 Skills in Action:
✅ Scientific observation
✅ Engineering & design thinking
✅ Collaboration & perseverance
✅ Understanding adaptations in the animal world
💬 Ask your student:
“What changes did you make to your tool when you tested it?”
You’ll be amazed at their thinking!

🏛️ Column Code Quest: Greek Architects & Earthquake Logic Challenge!
Mrs. Lockman’s students virtually traveled to ancient Greece this week to explore how architects designed Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian columns strong enough to hold up massive temples like the Parthenon!
Using computational thinking and engineering design, students became structural engineers designing, building, and testing their own paper column models on a “shake table” to simulate an earthquake. 🌍💥
They learned to:
✅ Identify the three Greek column styles
✅ Decompose stability problems like real engineers
✅ Create algorithms (step-by-step plans) for strong designs
✅ Test, evaluate, and debug their models for better strength and balance
This hands-on STEM + history challenge brought ancient architecture to life while connecting science, math, and logic in one incredible build! 🏗️✨
