We can't believe Week 5 is already complete! It was another exciting week filled with hands-on experiments, a return visit from the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry, and fun field trip.

Take a look at some of the highlights from this past week as we head into the final week of Summer School. We have lots of fun-filled activities planned, and we look forward to seeing all of our students as we finish the summer together!

July 13: All School Field Trip

July 16 : Field Day & Last Day of Summer School

Please check the weather each day. Students should wear shorts and gym shoes daily, and bring a water bottle to stay hydrated.

Fizzy Station & Model Magic Clay Activity

Students explored the science of chemical reactions at the Fizzy Station! They mixed different materials to observe bubbling and fizzing reactions while learning how scientists use observation and experimentation to understand changes in matter.

K-3 Bedford Park SplashPad

Grades 4-7 Energy Explosion Curiosity Station
Students participated in the Energy Explosion Curiosity Station, where they built their own catapults! This hands-on Physical Science activity helped them explore force, motion, and energy as they designed, built, and tested their catapults.

TinkRworks with Mrs. Torres– Push & Pull
In the afternoon, students in grades K–1 participated in the TinkRworks Push & Pull program. They were introduced to the basics of electronics and coding while building a tabletop bowling game. Through this activity, students discovered the effects of push and pull forces in a fun, hands-on way.

TinkRworks with Mrs. Ramirez– Pampered Plants

Students explored plant science by building their own plant monitoring system using electronics and coding. They created a light display that responded to soil and light conditions while learning how the environment affects plant growth.

TinkRworks with Mrs. Luna-TinkRsynth
Students used coding and creativity to design and program their own sound mixing boards. They explored how to create and change sounds while building their own unique instruments.
