Through hands-on experimentation, they learned how different components work together while developing critical thinking and collaboration skills. It was an exciting opportunity to bring STEM learning to life.
Our fifth graders had the opportunity to learn about government from Nassau County Legislator Tom McKevitt. During his visit, he spoke with students about the role of local government, the responsibilities of elected officials, and the importance of civic engagement. Students were engaged throughout the presentation and enjoyed the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about how government works in their community. It was a valuable real-world connection to their social studies learning.
Our third graders enjoyed a fascinating visit from the Butterfly Man! 🦋 Students learned about the life cycle of butterflies, their habitats, and the important role they play in nature through engaging displays and interactive presentations. It was a memorable hands-on learning experience that brought their science studies to life!
Fourth-grade Quest students are exploring eco-friendly technology and learning how to create a more sustainable world. Recently, Mrs. Farrell visited our class to share her work with wind turbines and the development of wind farms.
She walked students through the entire process of creating a wind farm—from using computer models to identify the best locations based on wind patterns, to engineers designing roads to reach remote sites, many of which are located in the middle of farmland. Mrs. Farrell also explained the importance of checking local roads and bridges to ensure they can safely support the size and weight of the trucks transporting turbine parts.
Students learned how the energy generated by wind turbines is transferred back to power stations and ultimately delivered to homes and communities. Mrs. Farrell also shared stories from her time traveling for work, including meeting with landowners to discuss land use agreements and working with local towns to gain permission to use their roads.
To celebrate the visit and all they learned, each student received a small windmill to take home!
