4th graders have been busy building with simple machines the last week. Each group was to build a 6-10 step Rube Goldberg contraption. The most difficult part of the build was them having to connect their contraption to another teams. The goal was to snap a mouse trap.
Each group was started by another team and then their ending started another team's contraption. This made the engineering process really show.
If you would like to view the contraption complete VIDEO, check out the 3rd-5th Facebook page.

Freshman Impact: Caught in the Moment is a powerful one-day prevention program for young teenage students. The students see up close and learn through hands-on activities the possible consequences of wrong choices and the lasting effects physically and emotionally on their bodies, their families and friends, and their community. The program promotes communication and developing rapport between the youth and law enforcement / fire / rescue personnel.
The program brings together local, county, state and federal resources to educate students, parents and school staff on destructive teenage issues and the consequences. Law enforcement/fire/rescue departments can use the program as inter-depart mental training for their personnel in emergency response skills, working as a team with other area departments, and promoting community relations.
As a team, everyone works together to promote young teenagers making safe choices and preventing destructive behaviors. It is important to give our young teenagers the tools to develop life-long skills and values to make the best choices.
