4th graders completed their first science lab by creating a model car, that we are going to use to learn about force. They are going to build and test different propulsion methods and then they will build a way to protect an egg that will ride in the car. The final test will be a collision test with a real egg in the car.
This week we are highlighting our very own 8th grade ELA teacher Mrs. Buneta. She has been at LK8 for 7 years and truly loves it.
