Constellations

Quest students are learning all about the 88 Constellations in the night sky. They had a blast choosing some of their favorites and creating an edible replica of each. Yummy fun! 

Dash Robotics

While learning about robots and their functions, we have studied the rovers located on the planet Mars. We have studied how they travel around the planet to take pictures and send back to Earth. We are coding our own robots to master commands that we have programmed Dash to carry out. The students are so excited to be working together to code Dash.

Mission Space Projects

 Students are thriving in our Mission Space unit of study. Our PLE Quest kids are so creative and love to think up new ways to share with their peers all they know and love about space. Check out these cool projects! 

Solar System Sun Catchers

 PLE Quest had a blast creating their own solar system sun catchers. Each one is so unique and different. Each student chose colored markers of their choice and designed a coffee filter and dipped it in water so that the colors would blend and make a cool planet. They all look so neat together in this class galaxy. 

Magic Growing Crystal Trees

 

Quest students loved the opportunity to partake in growing magic crystal trees. As we are learning more about our home planet, Earth, we are experimenting with materials that help crystals grow on a tree by filling the base with liquid just like rain, sun, and nutrient soil helps our trees on Earth grow. We are enjoying watching our crystal trees grow each day.

Saving Sam - S.T.E.M. and Teambuilding Activity

 We have started off a new Quest year with a fun and engaging STEM project entitled Saving Sam. The students had to work together to save Sam from the water. It took several tries and communication with team members, but after sticking with it, and using task commitment, each team successful saved Sam.

Hattiesburg Zoo Field Trip

As a culminating activity for our Zooland simulation, Quest took a trip to the Hattiesburg Zoo to experience the wild side of life. Our students had the best time seeing all of the unique animals and visiting with a real life zoologist. 

Saving Zooland

 Quest students are serious about saving Zooland. Each student chose an animal of interest to research and share with the class how to save this animal and to make everyone aware of what needs and habitats each animal has. The students loved this experience.
