Testing of the telescoping periscopes 10/20/2014

Teams of 5th-grade students designed, built, and tested their telescoping periscopes.  Their task was to identify objects about 15 feet away by looking out from behind a counter.  This STEM project allowed them the opportunity to work in groups to solve a complex, real-world problem.  They all did a fantastic job!
