Our 5th Grade Science classes have been learning about energy transformation and how energy changes from one form to another. Students in Mrs. Craighead and Ms. White's classes put their learning into action. They were put into groups, with each group choosing a room, such as a bathroom, kitchen, game room, etc. Each group then created a unique team name, investigated everyday objects found in their chosen room, and identified how each object transforms energy. The students then became tour guides, leading their classmates on an imaginary tour of their room, using a poster and slideshow to showcase their findings. This hands-on project allowed students to work collaboratively, think creatively, and demonstrate their understanding of how energy transformations happen all around us!
