What's Happening at LTSA?

Today the 2nd-5th grade students showcased their Species Survival projects.  The driving question for our project was: "How can we design a solution that will help an endangered (or threatened) animal thrive?" We are so proud of their creative solutions and hard work!

​Students in IPC science class are studying conservation of momentum, force and impulse. Students were given a design challenge to create a device to slow an accelerating Vernier dynamics cart to a stop with the least amount of force detected by the dynamics cart. Data was collected by a force sensor and then calculations were made to determine the force the dynamics cart experienced upon collision. 

 Today, Kindergarteners practiced making spaces between their words and we worked on our writing about our favorite holiday!

 The students in grades 2-5 have been working hard on their Species Survival projects in HUB! They are finished researching their endangered species and are currently working on designing solutions to help their animals and educate others about how they can help.
