We love our Mystery Readers Sweet Apple Elem!

These Sweet Apple Elem geologists transformed Starbursts into igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks by eroding, compacting, melting, and cooling them.

We had a blast in the SAE Science Lab today! A huge thank you to all of the volunteers that made this hands-on experience possible!

What a successful Grandparents Day Sweet Apple Elem!

Rainbow science 🌈, Lucky Charms math, and a “Going Green” musical- Sweet Apple Elem 3rd graders sure know how to celebrate St. Patty’s Day ☘️! Karin Alhadeff Andy L. Allison

These Sweet Apple Elem paleontologists “dug up” dinosaur bones and made predictions about what animal it could be. As we found more bones, we practiced the important skill of adjusting our hypothesis as we get more information.

We had so much fun practicing our elapsed time strategies with a “topple blocks challenge” today! Sweet Apple Elem

“Weaving is so fun!” “I’m an expert knot tie-er now!” “This project is like playing video games and drums - I love it so much!” Elizabeth Eppes Cary Beth Bates Andy L. Allison Karin Alhadeff

5th grade TAG students learning about the musculoskeletal system built a prosthetic hand to explore the connection between bones, muscles, and tendons. Andy L. Allison Karin Alhadeff

RNE second graders loved learning from a UGA entomologist during our TAG unit on insects. The insect collection he brought was a hit! Dr. Lydia Conway

Our 2nd graders took a virtual field trip to a butterfly conservatory and demonstrated with Mystery Science how 🐝 and 🦋 help with pollination. Dr. Lydia Conway

Scattergories is the perfect way to kick off our TAG day! We’re working our “creativity muscle” by increasing our fluency AND originality! Andy L. Allison Dr. Lydia Conway

We stretched our noodles today with Noodlers by exploring our visual/spatial reasoning. Dr. Lydia Conway

These RNE entomologists recorded data about their observations of insects in our school garden. We watched 🐝 pollinate flowers by buzzing from plant to plant. Outdoor lessons are the BEST! Dr. Lydia Conway

Digestion exploration stations! To introduce the digestive system, students made chyme-in-a-bag, listened to the rumbling sounds in their large intestine, and modeled muscle movement of the esophagus. Andy L. Allison

Summarizing our mini-medics unit with a triangle challenge puzzles. I ALMOST stumped them! Sweet Apple Elem

#RNEgreatthings 5th grade TAG students are studying the cardiovascular system and making 3-D heart models.

We had so much fun playing our SOS games today during brainteaser time! #fcstag Jessica Sevin
