We ended the 2nd grade STEM Special – Living off the Earth today with taste treats. Students were able to try many different foods and rate how much they liked them. The winners were: Mango, Pomegranate, Cucumber and Avocado.

Here are the foods they had a chance to sample:

Mango	Avocado
Cabbage	Basil
Bean sprouts	Sugarcane
Sugar Snap Peas	Pomegranate
Mushrooms	Bac Ha
Cucumber	Seaweed

Students in 1st grade are finishing up their Light and Shadow STEM Special and exploring moon phases and how sunlight reflects off the moon’s surface. They learned that when we see the moon we are actually seeing a portion of the moon that is experiencing daytime. The students challenged themselves to light dinosaurs using mirrors and flashlights to show how light reflects.
