5th Grade Science- Color and Light Experiments 
​4th Grade Science- Simple Machines

SIMPLE MACHINES-4th grade science- 
4th graders are coming to CLIC to engineer and build gumball machines that must include 5 types of simple machines.  The children work on teams and must build, test, redesign, and the end result is an awesomely action- packed ball drop machine! 

5th grade Color and Light -
Mrs. Ellis/Nicholson classes came to CLIC to do experiments around the technology of fiber optic cables.  We used lasers with gelatin and water to see first hand how light internally reflects in these substances much like it does in the glass tubes in fiber optic cables. 


5th Grade Car Engineering- 
Mrs. Boucher/Lantz classes came to CLIC to do a car engineering class.  The challenge was to get a Barbie doll 15 feet onto the target.  Students could use wind, catapults, motors.  It was pretty challenging!


5th Grade Performance-
​
Mrs. Soloman's class has written plays based on Johnny Appleseed and Paul Bunyan.  We are rehearsing on stage and will soon be creating props and costumes in CLIC for this production.
