STEM Club Yesterday

I didn't have a chance to take pictures, as we were up to our elbows in juice pouches, but we learned a lot in STEM Club yesterday about the impact waste has on our environment, and how much waste we generate as a society (it was pretty gross)!

We estimated how many juice pouches we think we have collected so far (we ranged from 100-600 in our realistic estimations). We also estimated how many pounds we thought our collection weighed. The average estimate ranged from 20 lbs. to 50 lbs. We packed up the juice pouches into a box, and Mrs. Owen placed them in the front office for UPS to come collect them today.

Stay posted to see how many pouches/lbs, and points we have earned for our collection so far!

We Recycle!


Green STEM Club Members working hard recycling! Club members, remember to join us Thursday mornings to help collect and sort recycling!




Spaghetti Towers

At our first meeting, we put our engineering skills to the test and made towers and structures out of raw spaghetti noodles and marshmallows! It proved to be quite the challenge, but the group had a great, messy time.
