First Graders explore the patterns in the sky through building a sundial and testing it! How does it work? What do we notice? What does this prove? Hampton Street #mineolaproud #steamchallenge


The STEAM Fair has begun! Come see what these motivated Second Graders have explored, researched, and designed on their own! There is no limit to their interests, imagination, and ability! Hampton Street #mineolaproud #steamchallenge


How can we understand the phases of the moon? What is responsible for these changes? First Graders seek the answers for this mysterious question. Hampton Street #mineolaproud #steamchallenge


What a day! Jungle Bob, Volunteers for Wildlife, TR Sanctuary, composting, nature scavenger hunt, Recycling Relays, grocery bag designing, water bottle decorating, seed planting, and Earth Day Stories. Thank you parents, teachers, and learners! Hampton Street


Straight from Brookhaven Magical Laboratory, our very own Mr. Talty shared his vast knowledge of electromagnets! Thank you so much Mr. Talty for always inginting our love of math, science, and the world! Hampton Street #mineolaproud #steamchallenge


We started our year exploring properties of our trash and how to prevent garbage from getting into the storm drain. We have come full circle with one last garbage collection and our trip to the Nautical Mile next week! Operation Splash, here we come! Hampton Street


We found some sunlight through the windows to test our shade structures! Success in so many ways! Stopping the sunlight through design engineering in Kindergarten! Hampton Street #mineolaproud #steamchallenge


Seed dispersal! How does the structure of a seed affect its ability to travel? Hampton Street #mineolaproud #steamchallenge

It’s the Recycled PreK Arcade! Claw machines, bowling, Skee Ball, and more! Thank you for joining us, Parents! Hampton Street #mineolaproud #steamchallenge


Our quail have hatched and these PreK learners were the first to see them! Animal family groups, life cycles, native species, habitats, and animal survival skills…it all comes together in this moment. Hampton Street #mineolaproud #steamchallenge

Another amazing project come to life with the help of the Fab Lab and Mr. Sommers. Hempstead Plains animal art will be a part of our campus! Hampton Street #mineolaproud #Fablab


Neuroscience, design engineering, creativity, and working together! What a great first week in STEAM! Hampton Street #mineolaproud #steamchallenge


It’s all about the worms in STEAM! Digging, tunnels, building, painting, and life cycles. Hampton Street #mineolaproud #steamchallenge


4 pounds of garbage rescued from the storm drain! These Citizen Scientists are making a difference! Operation Splash, we are on board! Hampton Street #mineolaproud #operationsplash


First Grade Scientists explore traits that help plants and animals survive! Hampton Street #mineolaproud #steamchallenge


Second Grade Learners explore the properties of rocks with their Learning Buddies. What can we find out about our rock and what can it be used for? Hampton Street #mineolaproud #steamchallenge


Thank you STANYS, for the opportunity to present our project and to be able to work with my colleagues from across the state. What an honor to see this work come full circle with MaryJean McCarthy, who was named Outstanding Science Educator! Hampton Street #mineolaproud #STANYS

Thank you to all our wonderful Kindergarten parents who helped make our first Pumpkin Experience event such a success! Math, physics, chemistry, earth science, and art…with a pumpkin theme! We could not have done it without you! Hampton Street #mineolaproud #steamchallenge


First Grade works on building their insect house as we explore the survival traits of animals as they prepare for the colder temperatures. Hampton Street #mineolaproud #steamchallenge


Oh Miss Maple! Now we know why your leaves are many colors and why they drop to the ground! This is one of many lessons you will teach us! Have a good rest! Hampton Street #mineolaproud
