Tuesday, April 13th, 2021—In honor of Earth Day, the 4^th grade students at Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school participated in a hands-on, minds-on opportunity to learn about the four types of ecosystems. The four ecosystems include: artificial, terrestrial, lentic and lotic. To create these ecosystems, students took turns to follow the steps in the procedure and worked together to answer the questions in the science experiment. What a creative and fun way to learn about ecosystems and to celebrate Earth Day!

Monday, April 12th, 2021—Syracuse Academy of Science 6^th grade PBL students expressed their thoughts and views on current events such as: cyberbullying, wildfires, Coronavirus, and climate change (just to name a few) to both National and Local government officials. One such elected official was New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo. 

Governor Cuomo responded to the Atoms with a note saying:

"Thank you very much for your letter. It's always great to hear from one of our state's future leaders. I appreciate you reaching out and sharing your prospective with me. It's never too early to get involved in the work that our state government does, and I thank you for taking the initiative and lending your voice to our efforts. I hope you'll continue to stay engaged as we confront our current challenges and work to ensure a stronger, safer future for you, your fellow students, and all New Yorkers. Thank you again for taking part in your government. I hope to connect with you again soon. Until then, I encourage you to stay up to date on your efforts at https://www.governor.ny.gov/."

Power to the Atoms - great work everyone!

The Atoms have been putting their creativity to the test when tasked with creating a fun design using name symmetry. For this project, students used bilateral symmetry or reflection symmetry, where an object is mirrored or reflected across a plane to create another instance of itself. Please click here to visit our Facebook page to view their entire collection. Super creative, Atoms!
