Fourth grade is beginning a new science unit, Energy. We will investigate energy,
build electric circuits powered by D-cells (flashlight batteries), and explore electromagnetism, light, collisions, and waves. All our experiences will build an understanding that energy is evident when there is motion, electric current, sound, light, or heat, and that energy can travel from place to place. This week's investigation focused on answering the focus questions, "What is needed to light a bulb?"
Third grade are studying physics and chemistry in a new unit, Motion
and Matter. We will be studying forces and what happens
when they are balanced and unbalanced. This week's investigation explored the questions, "What happens when magnets interact with other magnets and with paper clips?"
Third grade students used interactive google slides this week to practice identifying the continents on a map as well as learn fun new information about each continent!
The NTC cross country team had some great results and personal bests at the Kalispell Invite today.
1st graders had fun learning and practicing the scientific method today!
5th and 6th grades have art on Friday each week. Today the 5th grade explored their new paint sets by making swatches and mixed medium art pieces. The 6th grade took their paints outdoors to create some wonderful work!
Monetary Opportunity for students grades 9-12
