Dash and Dot Robotics 

We are so excited to work with Dash and Dot from Wonder Workshop. Dash and Dot are robots that connect with blocky and java script on the tablet. Students were amazed at how Dash and Dot worked and couldn't wait to give them a try. Students have learned how to code and use computer programming to send the robots to their destination. Here are a few pictures from our first run with Dash and Dot. We look forward to many more missions. 

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 used dark blue)

* 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!!

Mission Space Projects

Mission Space Projects 

Our Quest students are having a blast as they learn about our solar system and everything that is in it. 

Look at all of these amazing projects that our students have been working on and bringing into class to share with everyone. We would like to also give a big shout out to the wonderful families that help make these projects possible. 

Solar System Sun Catchers

Fair Art

This year for the county fair, we created solar system sun catchers. We have been learning all about the different planets and used regular, day to day household items to create works of art. The students used a coffee filter and markers to create their own planet. After completing each coffee filter, the students sprayed their filters with a few blasts of water. We let them dry, and now look how amazing they turned out!! We were so proud to enter these creations in our Pearl River County Fair. 

Mission Space

2nd grade Quest classes are blasting off to a great year with our Mission Space Unit. The students are so excited to be learning so much about space and the galaxy we live in. During this topic of study, we will learn all about the planets, constellations, sun, moon, galaxy, space missions, and so much more. Here is a picture from our talking planetary mat that helps us go on galactic adventures.
