Students in Mr. Casady's 6th grade science class, worked in groups to create a simple machine. Their goal was to create a design using levers and pulleys, that would leverage their mechanical advantage to lift or move a 10lb bucket, with minimal applied force, by strategically positioning the fulcrum (in levers) and the pulley wheels to redirect and amplify the force needed for the task.
Wheaton Elementary 2nd Grade has had a great week of learning about Thanksgiving traditions and discussing all the things that we are thankful for. Wednesday we all joined together to have our annual Friendsgiving Feast. During the feast, each students also made a thankful card for one of the teachers to express their gratitude.
Thank you to all the 2nd grade families for providing a wide variety of yummy snack for the students to enjoy during Friendsgiving Feast.
Congratulations to our second treasure chest winner, Koleson Brown!
