ACCORD – Students in Mary Schoonmaker’s class at Kerhonkson Elementary School showed off their creativity and their engineering skills during a recent science lesson.

The Grade 3 students took an educational ride to build “roller coasters” that made enough momentum for a marble to go down, up, and come to a complete stop, just like at an amusement park. The project helped students build skills in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

Kerhonkson Elementary School students Isabel Planthaber and Aayan Tabassum work with their Grade 3 teacher Mary Schoonmaker on a recent STEM project.
