The annual FFA Fair was held last week at the Sidney Central School District. Jr/Sr High School students displayed various themes and topics as elementary and Jr/Sr HS classes came out throughout the day to look at and interact with the presenters.
This was once again a wonderful event that allowed students of all ages to interact and work with one another!

Students in Bryan Neubert’s Earth & Science class recently made solar ovens as they learned about how the sun produces energy through nuclear fusion, and how the sun can be used as a clean fuel source. The class also utilized Sidney CSD’s outside learning spaces for this project.
Students learned how harnessing the sun’s energy can help populations of people without access to clean cooking fuel. Students were given certain criteria and constraints to build their ovens. Criteria included doubling the air temperature in the oven, fitting four s’mores in the oven, and to melt the chocolate within 20 minutes.
Additionally, students were tasked with creating a poster to demonstrate their knowledge of the sun’s structure, nuclear fusion, the electromagnetic spectrum, and the social values of using solar energy as a clean fuel source. Students put their posters on display while cooking s’mores in their ovens, and staff members and administrators walked through to view the projects and ask questions.
Quite the delicious lesson!

Students in Peter Okoniewski’s physical science class recently held a gallery walk as the culmination of a poster project. Students were tasked with determining what the most cost-effective form of paper towels were to use to clean up spills. The class came up with their own procedures, collected data, and calculated how much it would cost to clean up different spills. That helped determine whether a name brand, bargain brand, or school brown paper towels would be the most efficient cost-wise.
During the gallery walk, students showcased their findings and other classes who came to look were able to ask questions.
Great work!

Students in Brandon Payne’s Algebra 1 and Calculus classes were caught honing their Algebra 1 skills on vertical whiteboards around the room. Students identified the skill level most appropriate for them (mild, medium, or spicy), identified patterns in each problem, and used those patterns to move up to the next level.
Teachers in each class provided feedback to each student to make sure they were advancing to the next level.
Great work all around!
