Last Thursday the students of Grade 2 led the Invention Convention in which they displayed models of their very own creative inventions. The students had been working on developing original inventions throughout the winter break, and were able to come up with creative and useful products.  They also displayed their Invention Logs where they kept track of their thought process and addressed the problems that their inventions would solve, how they think they can change the world, and the materials they needed to create them. The Convention was a great success with both teachers and students of the different American Elementary School grade levels coming to visit and discuss the products with the inventors. They even got a visit from the principals!

Last week, the G2 students completed their science unit on matter. They learned about solids, liquids and gases, their properties, mixtures, and how to change matter from one form to another. To demonstrate, their teachers held a pancake day where the students sorted the solid and liquid ingredients that go into making pancakes, and observed what happened when the two forms of matter were mixed together. Finally, the students observed how heat changed the liquid mixture into delicious solid pancakes!
