Our 4th and 5th grade gifted students traveled to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History for the Science Bowl. The students moved between four stations: Dino Detectives, Reptiles Scavenger Hunt, Geology Lab, and Explore Anywhere! Working in teams, the students developed questions they would ask dinosaurs and identified rocks based on their hardness. Next, they completed a scavenger hunt through the Live Reptiles exhibit. During their exploration time, the students visited Bird Hall, toured the Polar Arctic exhibit, and spent time learning about Ancient Egypt. Congratulations to Ben, Bayleigh, and Ella for coming in 1st place with 57.5 points! Their exceptional teamwork and perseverance through the Science Bowl challenges earned them this coveted spot! Congratulations!
North Strabane Intermediate School hosted the first America Bowl for gifted support students in grades 2-3. They organized a double elimination tournament for 10 teams from Avella, Chartiers-Houston, Fort Cherry, McGuffey, Trinity and Washington school districts.
The students studied the states, capitals, symbols, nicknames, and abbreviations to prepare for the competition. They also studied the geographic location of each state. Our team did an amazing job preparing for the event and missed qualifying for the semifinals by only 1 point! I am so proud of all the students!
