2B Wind Racers!

3/27/2025

0 Comments

 
Grade 2B students got creative in their ADST (Applied Design, Skills, and Technologies) class by building their very own wind racers! The project was all about learning how wind power can be used to move objects, and the students had an amazing time putting their designs to the test.
Picture
Using LEGO, the students worked in small teams to design and construct their wind racers. They had to think carefully about how to make their racers catch the wind and race across the floor.
Once the racers were built, the real fun began! They used a fan to create wind and test how fast and far their racers could go. 
​
This hands-on project not only helped Grade 2 students develop their problem-solving skills but also sparked their creativity and teamwork. It was a fantastic way to explore science and engineering in a fun, interactive way!

​Did you know it takes 40 gallons of maple water to make one gallon of maple syrup? It takes even more to make maple taffy!

Maple syrup is boiled down to make maple taffy and then spread across fresh snow. All students then got to enjoy this frozen treat!
​
Thank you to our French monitor Mia for organizing this!
