How can I develop my resiliency to grow, learn and contribute to a community?
PARENTS: Please check backpacks for the following:
We started watching the Muppet movie in the learning commons because we reached our reading stamina goal of reading for over 12 minutes straight 10 times!!!! Buffalo Update We are almost done our buffalo. For the legs we made a second set of legs and put one inside the other to make them stronger. We came up with a new plan to attach them by cutting holes in the bottom instead of just sticking them on with tape. We are testing out making a mini 3D head first in order to build the actual size one. We also had a small group working on the tail. Some people held the tail while others tapped it on. Science Today we talked about thinking like a scientist and the process that they go through. We wrote down a hypothesis, experimented and than drew in our visual journals what happened. To continue developing our knowledge of constructing 3D shapes and buoyancy we made clay boats. First we looked at different 3D shapes and made a guess (hypothesis) for which shape we thought would make the best boat. Once we did some testing with the clay and made sure our boat would float and be hollow (air inside). Than our third challenge was to see if it could hold different kinds of weight. Our conclusion was that the sphere cut in half made the best boat although there were some other shapes that were successful as well. Our next step will be to start thinking about different materials and test them to see if they repel or absorb water. Comments are closed.
