United Intermediate School

4th and 6th grade have been learning about potential and kinetic energy in STEAM and applying what they’ve learned to different tasks with dominoes. They have built chain reactions and created obstacles for the reactions to cross over and interact with. They are then making observations about where the potential energy is greatest and when the kinetic energy is greatest. Sixth grade is starting to apply what they’ve learned to real life situations like skating at a skate park. They have used an online skate park simulator to observe potential and kinetic energy used on different skate ramps and how mass and friction affect the potential and kinetic energy.

These UIS students are our January Students of the Month. They all were nominated for multiple Shooting Stars during the month of January to recognize their accomplishments and citizenship. Keep up the good work and continuing to show others the UIS way.

February 2nd - 6th is National School Counseling Week. Show your appreciation for Mrs. Logsdon by thanking her or giving her a card. Check out her favorite things on the UIS list of favorites under DOCUMENTS on the website.
