The 6th grade students have been learning about ancient civilizations. This week as a review activity, the students had to sort the beliefs and accomplishments of the Maya, Inca, and Aztecs civilizations into a triple Venn Diagram. The students had fun getting to sort the information with their classmates and hula hoops! #LeadOn #socialstudies #learning #handsonlearning #sheldonorabs #middleschool

4th graders put their minds to work to create their own Rube Goldberg Machine to accomplish a goal set by the group. Groups had to create blueprints for their machine in hopes of accomplishing their goal. Some groups had a goal to pop a balloon while others wanted to get a ball in a cup. Students had a requirement to have 4 energy transfers in their machine. The end goal was for the students to experience energy and energy transferring from one object to another. Such a great way to practice their learning, problem solving, teamwork, and building skills. #LeadOn #Orabs #STEM #scienceintheclassroom #learning #building #4thgrade #sheldonorabs

6th graders created taco trucks to review decimal operations. Students had to design a menu with good prices, and manipulate those prices using decimal knowledge. To add to the fun, they got to create a truck with fun slogan and design! Great work 6th grade! #LeadOn #Orabs #math #6thgrademath #sheldonorabs #learning #math #foodtruck

Kindergarten students are practicing their predicting skills with some different science experiments. Students made predictions on what they thought would happen if they mix oil, water and food coloring together and then added an Alka-Seltzer tablet. Students were amazed at what happened and they saw that all of those things combined created what looked like a lava lamp! It is great getting to see our students brains work and their reactions during science experiments. #LeadOn #Orabs #Sheldon #science
