After investigating the properties of matter in our water samples last week, our 5th graders took on a new engineering challenge: design a water filter that could remove the unwanted materials and make the water cleaner and healthier.
Each team created a unique design, using what they learned to tackle the “troubling matter” in their samples. The creativity and problem-solving on display were incredible!
This week, students will be testing, analyzing, and improving their filter designs as they continue working toward cleaner water for all living things. 🌎✨

💧In 5th grade science, students are exploring the question: “How can we make water healthy for all living things?” 🌎
Their first investigation involves identifying the properties of five different water samples. Students are using their observation skills to examine each sample’s color, odor, cloudiness, and even magnetism as they work to determine what substances might be in the water. 🔬💦

🔍🕵️♀️ Students in Ms. Schoenberner's Discovery class just wrapped up their unit on ciphers and codes! To put their decoding skills to the test, they ended the unit with an exciting scavenger hunt — where each team had to decipher the other team’s clues to find their next destination. So much fun putting their critical thinking and problem-solving skills into action! 💡✨
