He showed a book trailer of his newest book, which got the students excited about reading.  Together, they practiced writing an adventure story, and discussed the importance of creativity.  They left the assembly inspired to write!

Hot Air Balloons

Submitted by doug.lai on

The 6th graders at Spring Lake Elementary learned about convection currents by making and launching their own hot air balloons.  In a STEM focused activity, students were able to engineer these balloons without patterns or instruction. With the help of BYU on launch day, they were able to see how well their hot air balloons flew. Some parents were able to attend the launch and were excited about what their children were learning. The students loved designing, building and flying!
