Northwood Students Dig Into Science Day
Lots of "Wow!" experiments took place recently at a number of grade levels.
Thanks to Northwood Elementary School media specialist Cheryl Corrigan for the photos and following information about recent science activities at the Roswell school:
K-5 students at Northwood Elementary in Roswell experienced a full day of exciting science activities recently.
Teachers in each classroom kicked off the day with a “Wow!” experiment, including sucking a boiled egg into a narrow jar, making snow, and piercing a balloon without it popping.
Students then rotated through classrooms with their Science Journals completing and discussing hands-on experiments involving topics such as gravity, gases, pitch, and motion.
Fourth graders explored how to build a rocket out of a straw, paper, and a paper clip.
Fifth graders debated the best way to package a raw egg to survive the exciting egg drop later in the afternoon.
It was a memorable day of meaningful science.
