Fieldston Middle students are diving into an engag Fieldston Middle students are diving into an engaging Enviro-STEM experiment!

Students explored how different materials absorb and retain solar energy in the form of heat by recording the temperatures of different colored houses over time. Like many experiments in the 6th Grade Enviro-STEM class, this experiment engages students in the real-world applications of scientific principles. In this experiment, students practiced data observation, graphing, and drawing conclusions while also thinking about how the data they were collecting might be applicable to architects, engineers, and environmental scientists.
