Tweet Like a Scientist

In order to learn how to think like a scientist, students researched scientists and composed a "tweet" from them.

"Our favorite moment from our first week of science is when we got to make a funny science tweet in the perspective of a scientist. It was fun to see what everyone came up with. Even if we didn’t make the winning tweet it was fun working with our friends to come up with an idea like this."

Back to School Sphero Challenge

Our first challenge this year was to see if students could design a device to pick up trash from the ocean.  

"In my first week of school, we started a project in which we created an invention controlled by a Sphero that picks up trash in the ocean. My favorite part about it was that we got to deal with robotics and propose an idea to solve a global cause."

"Our favorite moment in science was when we got to build the Sphero into a trash picking robot and when we tested it out. We also likes how we were surprised when we found out our invention worked successfully by picking up 5 pieces of trash."
