LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM! KM Perform Director Kevin Erickson and his students are taking learning to new heights through the Space for Teachers Embedded Teacher Program. They have spent the past year designing and engineering an experiment to test how sound frequencies affect the movement of bubbles in microgravity. The project has given dozens of students an extraordinary opportunity to experience real-world science and engineering, working through research, design challenges, testing and problem-solving alongside aerospace professionals.
On November 20, Erickson will travel to Bordeaux, France, to conduct the student-designed experiment aboard a parabolic aircraft that simulates weightlessness. The project is more than a science experiment. It is an opportunity to turn classroom learning into authentic research with real-world applications to see how far curiosity, collaboration and perseverance can take them.

LASER LOCKER HOURS FOR NOVEMBER!!! Start stocking up on KM branded holiday gifts at the Laser Locker! We will be open next week, closing the following week for Thanksgiving. Our KM school store is open to all and is located near the entry inside Kettle Moraine High School.
CULVER'S REALLY DOES CARE!!! Best Buddies held a Culver's Cares night last night to raise money for the many events and outings our students share. Thanks to Culver's, and to everyone who attended!
PLANTING SEEDS OF SCIENCE STUDENT IMMERSION DAY!!! Select Kettle Moraine 6th-grade students attended Science Immersion Day at the UW-Whitewater Rock County campus in Janesville. Sponsored by SLALN and UW-Whitewater, this interactive event gave students the chance to explore hands-on applications in environmental science, engineering, and creative problem-solving. Throughout the morning, students rotated through engaging sessions where they engaged directly with STEM concepts, from analyzing local ecosystems during a guided prairie walk to making wildflower seed bombs to support local plant life.
The excitement continued into the engineering and design challenges. In the Destination Imagination session, students put their resourcefulness to the test by building creative structures including a bridge spanning over a record-tall duck tower nicknamed "King Duck." The Engineering session capped off the day with hands-on physics and mechanics, featuring rope-weaving, marshmallow catapults, and atmospheric pressure demonstrations using imploding tin cans. The day successfully sparked student curiosity and inspired interest in future STEM careers like wildlife biology and product design.
