Third grade forces and motion - the power of magnets! 3rd graders at @MPS_Verplanck were tasked with the job of engineering a lock that could be opened using a magnet. Job well done! @mpspride @VerplanckPTA

Fourth graders @MPS_Verplanck enjoyed a visit with Dr. Shaefers from Fitchman Eye Center today. He answered all of our questions about light and the eye and inspired some budding optometrists! @mpspride

Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s... light reflecting off a mirror at an identical angle!
Science is so fun.

Fourth graders are starting to test ramps in hopes of building their roller coasters. The first investigation- how does the height of the ramp impact the speed and distance the marble travels? @MPS_Verplanck @mpspride #rollercoasterscience #energyandmotion

Parents, if you’re looking for some enriching STEM activities for these long summer days, try out code.org/learn with your child. We’ve been working hard at coding activities throughout the school year. Students can code their own games!

Best day ever! Fifth graders at @MPS_Verplanck finished our unit on light and the eye with a sheep eye dissection. Students identified the major parts of the eye. Real world learning in action! 👁 @mpspride
