Fourth Graders Research Israeli Start-ups and Inventions

During their Judaic studies class, fourth graders learn about Israel and Israeli culture. Recently, they have been researching and presenting about Israeli start-ups and inventions featured on the website Israel21c.org, which shares technology, health, environment, travel, and culture news from Israel. “This project gives students an opportunity to see the diversity of innovations that are coming out of Israel and the influence they make, not just in Israel but worldwide,” says teacher Liron Lahav. Students researched topics ranging from lightweight generators to environmental study satellites to robotic dairy farms. This project also complements the fourth grade general studies curriculum, as students can apply their research and presentation skills for current events projects in both areas of study. The projects will be on display after winter break in the main building hallway. MORE PHOTOS
