Mrs. Bell’s 4th grade celebrated the 100th day of school doing 100 minutes of STEAM activities. Students learned about cohesion and surface tension to see how many pennies it took to fit 100 drops of water. They tried to see how long it took to keep a balloon up for 100 hits without touching the floor. They worked with group members to design a creation using 100 paper links. Most importantly, they learned the importance of team work!
