Thursday, February 11th, 2021—Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school flex both their creativity and English language skills when working on this fun ‘Verbs in Action’ activity. Students were not only tasked with writing a sentence, but also had to create an action figure using pipe cleaners to act out that sentence. Atoms were also encouraged to draw and color a fun background image for their action figure. Keep up the great work, Atoms!

Friday, February 12th, 2021—Syracuse Academy of Science hybrid learning students participate in a variety of kindness activities leading up to Valentine’s Day. Students took the time to reflect on what kindness means to them, wrote positive character traits about themselves and ultimately reminded us to not only love ourselves, but to love one another. Keep up the great work, Atoms!

Thursday, February 11th, 2021—Earlier this month, the fourth grade Atoms at Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school were busy at work preparing for our annual Science Fair, which was held virtually. For the Science Fair, students were tasked with creating an experiment that would demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the scientific method, as well as their superb organization skills.

This year, we saw a variety of great experiments using or about slime, LEGOs, elephant toothpaste, rubber bands, paper airplanes, water pollution, and so much more! We even had a team of distinguished judges from SRC, Inc., Syracuse University, SUNY-ESF, The Tech Garden, News Channel 9, Syracuse.com and Syracuse Veteran Affairs.

The student who places first will receive an Amazon Kindle! The students who place second, third and fourth will receive STEM kits to create, and learn at home.

Congratulations to all of our students who participated and for our team of judges who volunteered their time to join us for this time honored event.  Words cannot describe how honored we were to have you join us for our special occasion, as well as, all the hard work, time and energy our students put into their presentation. Please, give yourselves a round of applause! Click here to view this year’s Science Fair.
