Skyscraper challenge!
Skyscraper challenge!
This week, the 2nd and 3rd graders continued their study of skyscrapers, including learning about some of the forces that act upon skyscrapers such as gravity and wind. They accepted the Lego Skyscraper Challenge to see how tall of a skyscraper they could build in 40 minutes with their team. Teams considered factors such as wind resistance and aesthetics when designing their tower.
We finished the day with an award ceremony and students updated their portfolios with photos and a reflection on their building experience. You can find a link to the portfolio gallery on the 2nd/3rd Grade Homepage.
UPCOMING: There will be no GATE the week of November 29-December 3.
ISO: OLD iPHONES AND iPADS
We are looking for your old iphones and ipads. Any iOS 11 or higher devices can be added to the district technology management system. These devices will be used in conjunction with the app DRONEBLOCKS to allow students to code our classroom drones. Additionally, they are complimentary to our lessons on photography, cooking show video productions, stop motion animation and so much more!ISO: OLD iPHONES AND iPADS
