2016 Science Bowl

5th grade gifted support students had a terrific time at this year's Science Bowl.  Canon-McMillan competed against students from Moon, McKeesport, Plum, Keystone Oaks, East Allegheny, Jeanette, USC, Shaler and the Baden Academy in four different events. Events included "Roller Coasters," "All About H20," "Roboworld Calculation Station" and "Build a Balcony." Ask one of our participants to give you the details about each of the exciting challenges!

A huge pat on the back to Gia Chambers, Bella Newman, Sophia Osborne and Caitlin Stambaugh...they placed 3rd in the 5th grade division.  Congratulations girls!

Fifth Grade Student Bode Dagen's Robotic Project

Bode made a "POHECA Wheel" to tie together what he learned in science with our robotics programming exploration.  Fifth graders used CMU's Hummingbird Robotics Kits and the Visual Programming software to create robotic visual aids.
