CLASSROOM UPDATES
HYDROPONICS:
Hydroponics is growing!
The seeds that we planted have germinated and are growing!!
Among the crops we have are beans, pumpkins, tomatoes, and basil!
Entering the class each day is a new opportunity to observe the growth and investigate the variables impacting different rates of growth!
ALTON JONES:
A super shout out to the PTO for funding the field trip to Alton Jones. Students had collaborative problem solving activities to grapple with throughout the day. This was a productive day filled with team building activities and follow up reflections, both on site and in class.
ENGINEERING:
Students had a design challenge to build the tallest free-standing structure with specific materials. Time was spent reflecting and redesigning based on the results. This redesign was then put to the test with a second build. This was a great opportunity to see students engineering skills in action and an opportunity to work on fine tuning analysis of data and application of new ideas.
