Third grade took a deep dive into the topic of heat—how it is produced, transferred and measured—and looked at how alternate sources of heat can be critical during catastrophic weather. They worked together to build solar ovens that would harness heat from the sun to cook food when extreme weather impacted other power sources.

Third grade students dug deep to investigate the impact of mining on the earth and to determine whether it is worth the consequences. Students partnered with jewelers and nonprofit organizations to explore how the attributes of rocks are affected by weathering and erosion. They also examined the practices of using conflict diamonds. Students designed infographics to educate the community about the true cost of mining and conflict diamonds. Students also plan to provide jewelers and entrepreneurs a critique of their advertisements based on their position on conflict mining.
INFOGRAPHIC GALLERY
Third graders shared what they learned about the diamond industry by creating infographics, visual communication tools that are informative and reader-friendly. Students included interesting facts, pictures, statistics, illustrations and other graphic elements in their infographics using Canva, a free online graphic design software.
