LCES Updates 9/20/24 This Week's Updates

Constitution Day and STEAM

Constitution Day

In STEAM, fourth and fifth graders remembered Constitution Day by discussing the importance of the Constitution. Students learned about how the Constitution is stored in the National Archives Building in a 50-ton steel concrete vault that could survive even if the building collapsed. Using basic craft materials, students created a model of a frame or security system that would preserve their own mini version of the Preamble to the Constitution. Students collaborated in teams of 3 or 4, and their designs had to meet several criteria, including surviving a drop test and water submersion test. It was an engaging way for them to think about the value of this historic document.
