We are spending first block with the grade 3/4 class. Students will be designing and building pom-pom launchers. Jamila is starting us off with 'What do you do with an Idea?'
Near the end of the activity, pom-poms become paint-delivery-devices. Everyone makes their mark on each target. Jackson Pollock! This STEAM brainstorm brought to you by Tyler Cave.
Next up are the Grade 1/2 class. They will be creating a device solely out of Lego that is designed to transport a juice box the farthest distance with one push!
When the students arrived, their inquiry skills were sparked by a read aloud from Amy of the story 'Iggy Peck Architect.
'
Planning gets hands on and iterations begin based on successes and failures.
Third block: grade 5/6 students are using the Tickle app to program the robots Sphero and Ollie. The goal is to have Ollie follow different paths and shapes. We need our math skills!
