Students in the Introduction to STEM Pathways and Careers course at East Feliciana Middle School learned earlier this year about the difference between an open and closed circuit. Some students had to create their circuit several times before the LED bulb lit up. Persistence, adaptiveness, and curiosity are characteristics of innovative scientists. This course at East Feliciana Middle School, offered in partnership with LSU, is part of the growing continuum of STEAM learning available for students in our schools in grades PreK-12.

4-H Cloverbuds and other members are participating in a lesson series about pollinators this year. At this month’s session, they learned about bees. Ms. Kayla brought her beekeeping equipment and students were able to try on bee suits and learn how beekeepers, including locally, use their equipment to harvest honey. Pictured here are members from Jackson Elementary and Slaughter Elementary.

Last month, EF STEAM students held a mini spa day for their chickens. They hypothesized that some of the chickens were egg-bound because they weren’t finding as many eggs, so they let the chickens soak in warm water and epsom salt to help them release any lodged eggs. Later they discovered the chickens had found another location to lay eggs!
DEMOCRACY IN ACTION AT EFMS: To practice public speaking and engage with the democratic process, students at East Feliciana Middle School prepared and listened to speeches before casting their votes for the 2023 EFMS Homecoming Court.
