The new science lab in the Cardinal Community Learning Center got much use this year.
First-Grade Motion Experiment
The new science lab in the Cardinal Community Learning Center got much use this year. Students and teachers had fun conducting experiments in the lab environment with more space.
Prior to the end of the year, first-graders had an opportunity to get in the lab to work on motion experiments. They first let two balls of different weight roll down a ramp to find out what the weight difference made in the distance the balls rolled.
The second experiment had the students studying a pendulum. They changed the length of the pendulum to see that the shorter pendulum had more swings in a minute than the longer pendulum.
Builders Club Visits JES
Prior to the end of the school year, Cardinal Middle School Builders Club members took time to visit with students at Jordak Elementary School. While there, club members spent time with second-graders doing math, reading and outside games. Builders Club members came up with all of the ideas for the various activities, which included relay and obstacle races, addition, memory, Go Fish with fractions, Madlibs, Scattergories and a name game. Teachers say the older students were very involved in making the day a success for the younger students.
