NDES Science & Engineering Fair
On Jan. 23, 229 students in grades 1-8 participated in the 22nd annual Science and Engineering Fair. The fair is an opportunity for students to conduct independent research that either uses the scientific method or the engineering process.
Preparation for the science fair began in early fall with the selection of a topic. Students worked independently on their projects and were supervised by their science teacher at various check-in dates. A special thank you to all volunteers, faculty, staff and parents for making the event a great learning opportunity.
Students who qualify will compete in the Northeastern Ohio Science and Engineering Fair at Cleveland State University and the Western Reserve District 5 Science Day at Akron University.
Laser Printer Makes Debut
This past Friday, representatives from Buckeye Educational Systems spent the day on Jan. 25 training the art and technology teachers on the new Epilog Laser system. The new fabrication tool, purchased with a generous grant through the McGinty Foundation, opens up wonderful opportunities to integrate technology and art, enriching the school’s STEAM program.
Chicken Soup with Rice
Students from Mrs. Wachob’s class were inspired by Maurice Sendak’s book “Chicken Soup With Rice.” Students followed a croc pot recipe and warmed up on a cold wintry day eating soup and singing songs about the months of the year. They also made a class book with their favorite types of soups with their illustrations.
