Sunburst XC Meet Postponed
The planned cross country Toole County Challenge scheduled for Friday, September 15, 2023, has been postponed.


In yesterday's science investigation, 4th grade students set up a test circuit to find out which objects will complete a motor circuit. They then sorted the test objects into two categories, conductors and insulators!

Fourth grade is beginning a new science unit, Energy. We will investigate energy,
build electric circuits powered by D-cells (flashlight batteries), and explore electromagnetism, light, collisions, and waves. All our experiences will build an understanding that energy is evident when there is motion, electric current, sound, light, or heat, and that energy can travel from place to place. This week's investigation focused on answering the focus questions, "What is needed to light a bulb?"
