WINSTON-SALEM — Our Lady of Mercy School recently revamped its Science Day, instead celebrating Mercy STEM Day. Middle school students (grades 6-8) created mini STEM experiments for the elementary students.
Each middle school team submitted a proposal of their experiment for approval, demonstrate the experiment and create a “live” version for public use.
Later, each team will submit a report on their findings.
Pictured are some of the experiments from the day, including creating waterproof structures under five minutes with Lego bricks, and floating drawings.
