This week in Mr. Brummer’s Physical Science class, students put their engineering skills to the test and used the scientific method to build better paper rockets. Each group made an original rocket, launched it several times, and recorded the distance it travelled. Then they made a second rocket with a modification they thought would make it fly farther and tested it out over several flights. Some of the students' new rockets flew over 300 inches!

Mrs. Ahlfield's third graders went on a virtual field trip to Maine. They were able to tour a lobster plant. They learned how lobsters are caught, measured to check for keeping, and how to band their claws. They also learned what each claw is used for, and how they are stored before shipping to the store. Thank you to Mike at Inland Lobster in Eastport Maine!
