Mrs. Reindl had Mrs. Salmon's 6th grade classes in the stem lab the week of Feb. 10th - 14th. The students had a website on Earth's layers. The website had a z-space activity, google drawing activity, Lego fun, word wall activities, video review's and songs and parodies. Student worked in groups designing and answering questions. They used the oculus as astronauts on a space launch. It was a fun learning experience.
