Building structures and relationships in CTAE Esther Jackson Elem 💙🐾

Higher level thinking 💭 and questioning happening in CTAE this week using the Inquiry Pencil ✏️! Students studied a photo of a cargo ship crashing into a bridge and worked together to develop strong questions! 💙🐾 #AVID Esther Jackson Elem N. Boyd Lindsey Walker

1st graders are matching problems to engineered solutions 🧩 in CTAE! 2nd graders take it one step further and match the cards to their engineering careers. Kindergartners are learning the science 🧬 behind how string phones work and the importance of this invention☎️ !

Earthquake-proof structures! 💙🫨

5th graders Esther Jackson Elem were Electrical Engineers in CTAE. They were surprised to see that they could create an electric circuit and light up a bulb with only a 9V battery (power source) and a graphite pencil (conductor)! 💡🔋 N. Boyd Lindsey Walker

Is it a solid? Is it a liquid? Can it be both? Yes! 4th graders Esther Jackson Elem were Materials Scientists in CTAE and tested the viscosity of “quicksand” to learn about Non-Newtonian Fluids.💦🧪 N. Boyd

Electrical Engineers at work in CTAE Esther Jackson Elem ! 5th graders learned through building electromagnets that more coils around the nail = stronger magnetic fields 🧲⚡️! N. Boyd Lindsey Walker

Ocean pollution tools 🐠, reading thermometers 🌡️, testing weather instruments 🌦️, and reversible/irreversible changes with popcorn 🍿 happening in CTAE Esther Jackson Elem ! N. Boyd

Circuit success! 💡🔋⚡️ N. Boyd Esther Jackson Elem Lindsey Walker

Having a blast in CTAE! -Engineering umbrellas ☔️ (4th - weather/water cycle) -Building boats that can float 🚤 (K - sink and float, Christopher Columbus) -Designing structures that keep eggs safe when dropped 🥚 (2nd - irreversible change) …and a well-deserved reward day

Our jaguar parents Esther Jackson Elem are the best! I sent an email that CTAE needed shoe boxes…and I had this on a cart and ready to go this morning! 💙🐾📦 N. Boyd

1st grade rain clouds🌧️, 3rd grade GA Regions treehouse planning🌳, and a special treat from FCS Teaching Museum for 2nd grade! We had so much fun exploring artifacts🏺from the “Cherokees in Georgia” kit. They inspired great ideas for making fishing tools🎣! Esther Jackson Elem N. Boyd

3rd graders Esther Jackson Elem planning and shopping 💵 with STEM Bucks for building materials in CTAE! We are excited to work on our GA regions treehouses! 🌳🏠💙 Thank you FCS Teaching Museum for the Makedo cardboard tools! 📦 ⚒️ N. Boyd

1st grade meteorologists in CTAE Esther Jackson Elem ! We are excited to see how many inches of rain we get next week! 🌧️💙🐾 N. Boyd

🎬✨ What a fun night! EJ hosted Movie Night, and families from all around the community came together with blankets, popcorn, and big smiles. 🌟🍿 Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special evening of laughter and connection!💙🖤 FultonCountySchools N. Boyd
