From the desk of our
S.T.E.A.M. Lab
This week in STEAM, EC2 focused on the colors and shapes of Rosh Hashanah. They learned about a brown
shofar (musical horn)
, a red pomegranate, and yellow honey. They looked at how Rosh Hashanah challah, apples, and pomegranates are round like a circle. They also saw a star inside the apple.
Students then had fun making circles on a huge board. They practiced red, brown, and yellow color sorting by using tongs to move the different colored balls. They also looked at pomegranate seeds under the microscope and in the light table. Magnifying glasses were used to see the
shofar
up close, and the scales were used to weigh yellow and red stars.
