4TH GRADE DEMON DAY
Building Rube Goldberg Inventions
Feb. 15

Demon Days are in-school events that give students the opportunity to do exploratory learning around a specific topic related to their curriculum. 

Our 4th grade Demon Day will have a STEM focus. Students will work in teams to build Rube Goldberg inventions on Friday, February 15, beginning at 9:15 am. Students will spend time planning what they will build, building their inventions, and testing their inventions.

If you are not familiar with Rube Goldberg inventions, check out this website: rubegoldberg.com.
