Greenhouse, leaves, and more

STEAM has been fun tracking the temperatures in the greenhouse.  Students got to go out to the butterfly garden at the start of STEAM. 

Students talked about celcius vs farenheit in the upper grades.  Younger students brainstormed where they had a thermometer at home.

As a class, we read the temperature on the thermometer in the greenhouse.

Then in STEAM in the library, we recorded the temperature outside, the greenhouse temperature, the weather, and observed how to make a graph in EXCEL!

Here is a link to our data - Greenhouse Temperatures

Next each grade level explored a variety of topics:

4th grade learned about SWAY and started a fall inspired SWAY presentation
3rd grade either finished up talking about Office 365 and Microsoft Word or re-visited Pebble Go.  The focus was on leaves, temperatures, etc...
1st and 2nd grade learned about Pebbe Go and how to use the safe learning platform.  In addition, students completed a variety of leaf based art projects.  2nd grade mostly did leaf creations.  Find leaves, create a person or animal, use a glue/water combo, paint the leaves into place, and allow it to dry!
The rest of 1st and Kindergarten used a leaf tracer to make a leaf "creature". 

Look for pictures soon :)

In addition, most of the students watched a science experiment on WHY leaves change colors.
