Feeling inspired from yesterday’s field trip to @thetechmuseum, Ss built a mini version of a catapult today during their project time at the #STEAM lab. #staycurious #3rdgrade #NoddinElem #USDlearns

The latest challenge in the #STEAMlab is #dashrobot races using a #rigamajig maze created by Ss. Lots of redesigning & problem solving occurred over the last hour. #3rdGrade #NoddinElem #USDlearns

We let the #thirdgraders loose on the #STEAM lab to pick their own project. Sewing (hand & machine) & cardboard fort building were definitely the most popular. Ss said it was the best part of their day! The only request…more machines. #USDlearns #NoddinElem

When you give a third grader a glue gun and building materials…you get a gum ball machine. #FunFriday #creativityatwork #STEAM #NoddinElem #USDlearns

Day 1 of building Indigenous Groups of California house structures. There was excitement and low level buzz while working. I can’t wait to see their final product. #STEAM #SocialStudies #collaboration #ThirdGrade #NoddinElem #USDlearns

Hands on learning about the Ohlone tribe this week at @YSI_CA. It was a little cold but well worth it when Ss said it was fun and asked where we were going to go to learn about the next tribe. #fieldtrip #handson #ThirdGrade #NoddinElem #USDlearns
