Wow!!! What a fun day we have had learning. I was going to start including pictures of the students today but we were so involved in our learning that I forgot to take any!!!
We started our morning with our wake-up work and logic. The Logic always gets our brains working. It's so fun to see how the students solve the problems differently. :)
I think the kids have had a fun time today with our main lesson. They finished working on their "Rosie Copters" from last week and presented them to the class. The students were able to learn from each other and gather new ideas for how they would improve their Rosie Copter.
I presented a new stem challeng question to them: How can we modify a loop plane to fly the farthest? The students first made a regular loop plane using two loops and one straw. Each group then flew the plane three times, measured the distance that it flew and wrote it down. We then converted feet to inches and found the average of the three distances. The students are now working on how to modify their loop plane to make it fly the farthest. We will complete and present this project next week!
