Outside is the BEST side!!!
Let’s go on a SPRING Scavenger Hunt!!
5th Grade
Can you Make a Pringle Ringle?
What is a Pringle Ringle?
The Pringle Ringle is an engineering challenge where you create a ring using only Pringles chips, NO tape or glue allowed. You need one can of chips for each person. Choose your FAVORITE flavor!! The challenge requires a lot of patience as well as careful and precise chip placement!!!

I have added a link to a new page above titled Digital STEM Learning. Click to find new resources. I want to share a few pictures of our digital STEM learners!!
STEM Challenges at Home!!
Let’s Keep those brains GROWING!! Each week I will post a menu of STEM challenges for you to try at home. I would LOVE for you to email me pictures of your creations!!!
Flames of Frey …. AIM High!!!
Super STEM Movies
TAKE a Movie Break!! You can watch movies at home and still ENGAGE your kiddos in STEAM thinking!!
These movies are suggestions only. Every movie should be previewed for content that may be inappropriate for your kids.

Digital Learning Resources
We LOVE our Frey Flames!! Frey Teachers have worked incredibly HARD to create digital learning plans to help lessen the academic disruption that our current situation has caused. I am so PROUD to be apart of this amazing community of families & educators!!

What are Squishy Circuits?
Fab 5th graders have learned ALL about electricity: circuits, switches, conductors, insulators, electrons, and SOO much more!! Time to put their knowledge to the test! Using LEDs, 9-volt batteries, Play-Doh, modeling clay & wire the kids had to create a simple circuit that would conduct electricity!! May designs FAILED in the beginning, but through collaboration and design improvement WE DID IT!!
Thanks for FREY Foundation for the supplies to make this possible!!
Static Electricity is Electrifying!
5th Graders explored MOVING electrons with our Van de Graaff generator. A Van de Graaff generator is an electrostatic generator which uses a moving belt to accumulate an electric charge. The students stood on a plastic crate (insulator) while touching the hollow metal dome (conductor). This caused their bodies to become negatively charged. Check out our results!!
STATIC Electricity Is Exciting!!
Our 5th graders are beginning to learn about ELECTRICITY!! We learned that everything is made of atoms, and that atoms contain protons & electrons.
Protons are “party poopers” = don’t EVER move & and have a positive charge!
Electrons are “party goers” = always on the move and have a negative charge!
