Passion Project Presentations
After weeks of developing student projects, the class came ready to share their learning! From videos, live presentations, diaper polymer, to rocket science - I can say even I learned quite a lot listening to these presentations! These students will never fail to awe and surprise me!Take a tiny peek at the presentations:
Amazing mazes
After hearing the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur, students used critical thinking and creativity to design their own mazes that were then joined to others to create some supreme labyrinths! Check out the aMazing fun!
WeDo Love to Tinker
Inspired by Daedalus and the idea of tinkering, and by Talos, possibly the first robot ever imagined way back in Greek Mythology - 3rd graders experimented with our Lego WeDo robotics kits. With some creativity, sensors, and programming, it was a very busy day! Check out some footage of our day in the video below.
Passion Project Progresses!
5th graders are hard at work on their final GT project! They were to design their own project. They must LEARN something, CREATE/DO something, and SHARE something. All projects are off to a great start! We have fundraisers for a cause, rollercoasters, novels, screenplays with costumes and props, science experiments, actual blacksmithing, and even animated animal battles! With 20 separate projects happening in class the class is alive with energy! It is fun to see how driven and focused the students are as they work on their self-designed projects! Presentations will be May 2. I can't wait to see the amazing things these creative kids do!
Squid Dissection
Smelly yet scientific describe our day! Thursday our 4th graders dissected squid and closely examined the internal and external anatomy. What an amazing experience! Thank you Mrs. Duerksen and all the parent volunteers that supported our young scientists!
Ozobot and the Sun Chariot
Students designed their own chariots for Ozobot today. It was fun to see the creative ideas from the limited materials. Next task: design the trek across the sky while avoiding mythological creatures. Check out some fun footage of the day here:
Week 2 - Students finally raced their chariots across the sky attempting to escape the mythological creatures! Check out footage of the final race!
