We learned that non-renewable means things that can not be re used, but renewable can be. Renewable resources are sun, wind and water. Non-renewable resources are coal, oil and natural gas. These create pollution too.

RENEWABLE VERSUS NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES!
Change Is Simple made their first visit to fourth graders at Proctor School The focus was on renewable and non-renewable resources. Students in 4K got the chance to be engineers for the day. First, groups got to build their own wind turbines that actually created electricity to light up an LED light bulb. We also got to test solar panels in different conditions to measure how much electricity was being generated.

"EGGS"CELLENT EGG DROP!
The students of 4K were biomechanical engineers for the day! The problem they had to solve was how to protect an egg dropped from 2 meters. They planned, designed, constructed and tested their containers made to reduce the impact of the collision. This activity put into use our study of transfer of energy, collisions, momentum and and contact force.
