First Grade
First grade has been working on the Light and Sound module of PLTW. Pictured above is one way they explored how sound waves are produced and enter our ears. These sound waves allow us to hear sound. Likewise, light bounces off of objects and enters our eyes allowing us to see objects.
2nd
During the Week of Code, second grade programmed their own games and activities.
