Olympic Curling came to room 62 today! For science, 5B and 5D engineers learned about the science of curling, from pebbled ice, to creating a water layer by sweeping, to the amount of a rock's surface coming in contact with the ice. Then using only limited resources (constraints), they created a model of a stone that they could use to enter our Olympic competition. The winners were Green Bananas (5D) and Starbucks Lovers (5B). Awards ceremony is on Tuesday! 🏅
Reminder tomorrow, February 13th will be an early dismissal day (11:30AM) and there will be no school on Monday February 16th.
