Sinai Gumdrop Challenge in Ms. Mason’s Class - Our budding engineers in Mrs. Mason's first-grade class tackled an exciting STEM challenge that turned gumdrops and toothpicks into towering Christmas trees! This delightful activity was made possible through the generous support of the Halifax County Public Schools Education Foundation, which provided a valuable mini-grant.
With the guidance of Mrs. Lewis, ITRT, these young innovators explored the world of engineering, problem-solving, and teamwork. The results are spectacular!
We extend our deepest appreciation to the HCPS Education Foundation for their unwavering commitment to educational excellence and for enriching the lives of our students.
First Graders Soar to New Heights with Gumdrops and Toothpicks! Thanks to a generous mini-grant from the Halifax County Public Schools Education Foundation, students in Mrs. Richardson's first-grade class embarked on an exciting STEM challenge. With the guidance of Mrs. Lewis, ITRT, these young innovators put their creativity to the test as they constructed towering Christmas trees using gumdrops and toothpicks. Check out these pictures for a glimpse of their sweet success! We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the HCPS Education Foundation for making this delightful learning experience possible!
In a thrilling and educational adventure, Ms. Lanham's class took on the Santa's Parachute Challenge, guided by Mrs. Lewis, ITRT. Armed with creativity and engineering skills, these students were tasked with constructing a parachute and basket for Santa, aiming to drop it on a target and ensure a safe landing without the basket tipping over.
Using a variety of materials, including coffee filters, plastic tablecloth squares, mini cups, and index cards, these young engineers learned about drag, air resistance, gravity, and balance as they designed an effective parachute system. Their goal? To increase drag, reduce the strength of gravitational pull, and slow down the fall of Santa's basket.
This exciting project was made possible thanks to the support of the HCPS Education Foundation, and we extend our heartfelt appreciation for their commitment to inspiring innovative learning experiences.
These students reached new heights in their understanding of science and engineering, and their enthusiasm soared as Santa's parachute gracefully descended.
A heartfelt thank you to the HCPS Education Foundation for making this exciting challenge possible!
Fourth grade Sinai Scientists have been investigating and learning about our solar system. Recently students were able to test their knowledge by using models to show the location and order of the planets in relation to the sun. Students also were able to compare sizes and understand the distance between the planets.
Sinai's 5th grade scientists explored magnets and magnetism. They determined which items were attracted to magnets and what characteristics these items shared.
