Fourth Grade Students from HSSD Come Together for STEAM Day 2019
Fourth grade students representing each of the five elementary schools in the district came together with five other districts from northeast Wisconsin on Tuesday, February 26, for a STEAM day at the National Railroad Museum. Students learned about aerodynamics, the Doppler effect, force, speed, and motion, and how color influences what we see. They used those concepts to develop a model of an effective high speed train of the future. Once constructed, their models were tested for strength, durability, and safety. Howard Suamico students worked together on two teams. One of our teams tied for first place and the other team placed right behind them in third place. Critical thinking, problem solving, and team work were important elements of our teams' success. Congratulations students on a job well done! Thanks to the National Railroad Museum for hosting this outstanding event.
