Fifth grade students at Sydnor Jennings Elementary were "getting bristley". They used a toothbrush, vibrating motor, and battery to create a closed circuit that allowed their bristle bots to move. This was a fun and exciting way to review electrical circuits. This learning opportunity was made possible by the Halifax County Public Schools Education Foundation Teacher Mini-Grant. Thank you for supporting our students.
It is always a pleasure to have one of our Central Office staff come and interreact with the students. Mr. Davis demonstrates to a students how to pluck a field goal with his finger during 2nd grade STEM class. Thank you Mr. Davis!
This week in Mr. Barksdale's STEM class, students worked in groups to design a football goal post that could stand up on it's own. They then used a piece of paper to create a paper football to see if they could score field goals.
