Tescott Schools

🎃 A little spooky science and a whole lot of teamwork! 🦴 Our mentors joined elementary students for a Skeleton Bridge STEM Challenge! Using Q-tips, tape, and plenty of creativity, they designed and built bridges strong enough to hold a roll of quarters. 🌉 These crews put their engineering skills to the test for some bone-chilling building fun! 👻

⚛️ Science in Action! 🔬 Mrs. Ehlers's 6th graders have been exploring the building blocks of matter! Students researched an element from the periodic table, calculated its protons, neutrons, and electrons, and put their knowledge to work by creating their own 2D or 3D Bohr models. What a fun way to bring science to life through creativity and hands-on learning! 💙🤍
