Moore Intermediate Students Become Scientists During Discovery Education Science Night On October 10, 2019, students and parents came out to Moore to learn about the Discovery Education Science Techbook and complete various Science stations. After a brief introduction in the gym from Susan Rhodes, District Science Coordinator, students were able to go to various classrooms and complete Science stations. While the students began working at the stations, the parents stayed in the gym and learned about the Science Techbook from Susan Rhodes. The Science Techbook is a digital curriculum that builds context and drives understanding of 21st Century skills. It not only provides resources for students, but teachers as well. Students in grades 5 and 6 at Moore use the Discovery Education Techbook in their Science classes. Students enjoyed participating in the various stations. The stations included Pinwheels in the Wind, Making a Fossil, Oobleck, Attract or Repel, Bottle Music, Conservation of Energy, Defying Gravity, Design an Earthquake-proof House, Energy Transformation, and Light Energy. While at the Pinwheels in the Wind station, students were able to create their own pinwheel using paper, push pin, and a pencil. Students were then able to test their pinwheel using a blow dryer. The Bottle Music station was a favorite for students and teachers! Students were able to play the song “Mary Had a Little Lamb” by tapping the prefilled soda bottles with a wooden spoon. The soda bottles were filled with varying levels of water in order to signify a musical scale. Carol Schweitz, Principal at Moore Intermediate, said “Students and parents really enjoyed participating in the various stations. We appreciate the support of our parents and community with our efforts in providing real-life experiences for our students.”
