Adventure Aquarium

The Lower School traveled to Camden, New Jersey to visit Adventure Aquarium. The students loved  seeing many of the sea creatures they had studied during their ocean unit. And they were introduced to many more amazing creatures.
                                       



Here the students are using two fingers to pet the sea creatures.



 In the STEM Learning Lab, the students learned about the different layers of the ocean and the creatures that live in each layer.






                                     

Thank You!
Special thanks go to Mrs. Lanni and Mrs. Danifo who accompanied us on our trip and provided many of the great photos for the blog. We appreciate you!

Science: Simple Machines In science class the students have been learning about the six types of simple machines: screw, lever, inclined plane, wedge, wheel and axle, and pulley. After learning about inclined planes, the students were given the challenge to create an inclined plane so that a car at the top of a box could travel down the ramp and continue rolling.                               First the students discussed what classroom materials to use to create the inclined plane. Next, they got to work making their ramps and made sure that the car successfully traveled down the ramp. Finally, the students demonstrated how well the inclined planes worked and we measured how far each car traveled. ___________________________________________________________________________ St. Nicholas Day On December 6th, there was much excitement as students left their shoes in t...
