The Sixth class have been focued on energy. They used solar radiation to create a sweet treat with a solar oven they designed and built. The students also experienced energy transformations as they engineered and launched stomp rockets. @ash1818

Science class was egg-citing! Defying gravity to save an egg from being dropped down a flight of stairs and out a window was the Seventh Class challenge today. They had to purchase a limited materials to create their safety devices. @ash1818

The Eighth Class are currently engineering solar cars. Outdoor testing has been a challenge the past week so hopefully our need for solar radiation will spur on some spring weather. @ash1818
