Shelburne Farms Field Trip





We had a wonderful day at Shelburne Farms! The weather held out as it just began to drizzle as we boarded the school bus back home. We enjoyed a picnic lunch atop a hill with panoramic views. We spent the rest of our time in the children's farmyard with chickens, goats, bunnies, sheep, cows, pigs, donkeys, and a horse.

Project Lead the Way

We teamed up with Mr. Emrich's class for the third module in our Science and Engineering curriculum called The Human Body. We investigated some of the major structures inside the human body and identified body parts that perform different functions.We focused on the structure and function of six different body parts; stomach, lungs, muscles, brain, bones and heart. Our 2 week study culminated in designing and engineering a cast for a broken wrist. Students drew their design and partnered up to create their cast, our criteria for cast making were; strong, light, comfortable and water resistant.
