Is it Magic or Is it Science? NFA Main Scholars Teach GAMS Students
STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) students from 91桃色入口 Free Academy Main Campus brought their final project from their Metals Unit to GAMS (Gidney Avenue Memorial School) to share and teach about metallic properties via posters and hands-on activities.
These final projects are a culmination of 5 weeks of guided and independent reading, research, and experimentation with metals.
Some of the projects included:
"How are metals good conductors of electricity?" where GAMS students tested materials with conductivity testers, played the Operation game, and made snap circuits where fans moved and music played;
"Why are some metals magnetic, but not others?" where students tested materials with a magnet and made paperclips float in the air;
"Why are metals malleable? where students made mini-repousse artwork; "Which metals are the best conductors?" where students tested different metals using a fruit battery;
"Why are metals reactive?" where students tested different metals with a copper sulfate solution;
"What are alloys?" where students saw a memory alloy move all by itself when exposed to heat.
Students were led by Mrs. Redican and Ms. Benvenuto, STEAM teachers at NFA Main Campus and coordinated by Mr. Jesse Goodglass, math teacher at GAMS.
