First grade students have been learning about the sun in their i-STEM unit entitled Mystery Beads. Students were challenged to design a boat that would protect their mystery bead from the sun's harmful rays. The boat was required to float. Students worked together, learned from each other, and were given the chance to problem solve and redesign their boats after testing.
Dr. Jerri Alexiou, local dermatologist, visits to talk about the importance of protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays.
