Oakvale School has enjoyed a visit from the STEM trailer this week. They've been involved in lots of fun lessons and activities about water: the properties of it, the movements of it, and the water cycle. The STEM trailer got its start this spring, but will be expanding to other elementary schools next fall!

FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 2022 is a 2 hour early dismissal.

Last week, Mr. Toman visited Mrs. Vaught's science class at Spanishburg. The lesson was on types of energy and energy systems. The four different stations were tone generator, hand-crank generator, rubber band banjo, and hand rubbing on ice. In each station, the students had to describe the system, identify what the energy source, where the energy was stored, and what evidence of energy was present.
