On Tuesday, November 15th, 2016, third grade visited The MOST to further students' understanding of science and technology in our world. The various themed rooms were engaging and fun for students to delve into the science behind each category. Students explored simple machines by using inclined planes, pulleys, screws, and levers to maneuver objects in the room. The body systems room gave students the opportunity to see how their body parts and systems work together to help them do their daily activities. We observed the toothpick structures from around the world where we learned that the structures made it into the Guinness Book of World Records! Finally, students got to check out the science play house where they climbed, crawled, and jumped through various scientifically designed structures.

On Friday, October 28th, 2016, fourth grade students participated in a field trip to Chittenango’s interactive zoo, The Wild. Students were presented with the unique opportunity to connect our classroom learning about animal adaptations with animals in the real world. We observed the feeding behavior of lions and tigers. Students were able to touch and feed a camel and discuss the adaptations we had previously learned about in class. Feeding the giraffe carrots was one of the highlights of our trip! Everyone loved the baby snow leopards. Students asked a variety of insightful questions and learned about the leopards' behavioral and physical adaptations.
