Constellations 

Quest is excited to learn all about what is in the night sky. When we look up and see hundreds of stars, we wonder about many things. We are learning how to look at stars and name the constellations that we see. We are learning that some constellations can be seen in both the northern and southern hemisphere, while others can only be viewed during certain times of the year in either the northern or southern hemisphere. Here are some pictures of our constellations cards that we learned about and sewed.

Quest Fair Art 

When thinking about all of the wonderful qualities that our quaint town exhibits, Quest students created a quilt square to share with others about what it means to have Poplarville  Pride. Each student thought about what they loved most about Poplarville and why they are proud to call this town their home. They designed their quilt piece for the county fair and it was displayed for everyone to see. Here is a picture of our quilt and the many reasons why we love our growing little town.


Galaxy in a Bottle
Anti-Gravity S.T.E.M. Experiment




2nd grade Quest students made galaxies in a bottle and experienced the awesomeness of what it looks like in our galaxy called, "The Milky Way." This S.T.E.M. experiment took students on a journey that allowed them to see the forces of gravity and how they work with certain liquids. The materials used to make our galaxies in a bottle are the following…..


* Clear bottle with ¼ filled with water
* Baby oil or cooking oil - fill bottle ⅔ full (leave space at top)
* Food coloring (We mixed blue and neon pink)
* Glitter (That was our favorite part)


Then you are ready to cap your bottle and shake it around to see what happens to the different liquids and glitter inside. We had a blast!!
