GATE at Glen Taylor

Glance at  August

3rd grade GATE

This month third graders will participate a fun and exciting engineering unit where they will learn and test Newton's Laws of Motion using Lego BricQ sets. In teams of two, students will work collaboratively to complete seven, hands-on, and complex challenges.

4th grade GATE

Fourth graders will continue their study of the skeletal system.  After a quick review, students will dissect owl pellets then reconstruct the skeleton of one of the prey.  Next, they will create a prosthetic hand to simulate how ligaments and joints work in the body.

5th grade GATE

This month fifth graders will brainstorm new segments and write the scripts for the video morning announcements.  Next, students will continue their physics unit from fourth grade by building their own marble roller coasters.  At the end of the project, we will host a "Carnival Day" for parents and other GT classes.  More information to come!
