The third-grade students were thrilled to complete their very first outdoor school of the school year last Friday! During the program, they learned about sand erosion and its mitigation. The teacher explained the concept and then divided the students into groups, each given different materials like rocks, nets, sticks, plants, seashells, and even plastic waste. The objective was to test how effectively each material could prevent sand erosion. Each group first measured the or

Our second graders had a fantastic time on their field trip to the Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo today! Through hands-on experimentation, the students built their own working models of a maglev train. They explored the core scientific principle of magnetic repulsion—learning firsthand that like poles repel—and successfully applied that concept to their designs. Throughout the project, our students demonstrated curiosity, critical thinking, perseverance, and excellent teamwo

The brand new school year for our Grade 5 students started with an exceptional trip to the Palo Alto Junior Museum on September 3rd. The students dove headfirst into an interactive science lab focused on orbital mechanics and the seasonal shifts of Earth 🌍. Working in pairs, the students modeled the Earth's orbit around the sun using desktop globes surrounding a light source. To analyze how axial tilt influences solar intensity across different regions, they placed small mag

Last Friday, September 4th, our fourth graders had the wonderful opportunity to extend their classroom learning about physical and chemical changes through hands-on science activities. The focus of this trip was on chemical changes, giving students the chance to enrich their knowledge with real-life experiments and close-up observations. During the activities, students divided into teams to create their own recipes mixing baking soda and vinegar in spray bottles, competing to
