Genius Hour This Week - Pick your project!

You need to decide on what you want to do for genius hour this week.  Brainstorm with your club on the kinds of projects you might be able to complete together. By this Friday you should decide on a project and a plan to make it happen.  You can use this link to work on your planning document.

Ideas/Example 1

• Project idea: I want to become a cross country runner.

• Question: Do daily runs help my mile time?

• Plan: I will run daily increasing my distance each day.  I will track my distance and time each run.  I will keep a journal about what I eat and how I feel.  I will take pictures or videos to use as part of my presentation.

• I will research 3 articles about fitness/exercise and summarize them.

Idea/Example 2

• Project idea: I want to learn how to make brownies.

• Question: How do different recipes (baking times and ingredients) affect brownie taste?

• Plan: I will bake a different batch of brownies each week and have taste testers rate them.  I will take pictures of myself baking as well as each of the brownie recipes I make to use in my presentation.

• I will research multiple recipes to try and learn about the ingredients in brownies.

Idea/Example 3

• Project idea: I want to make a cook book of family recipes.

• Question: How does grandma make that great mole?

• I will research multiple recipes to try and learn about the ingredients in brownies.

Idea/Example 4

• Project idea: I want to make my own game.

• Question: Why are some games more interesting than others?

• Plan: Within one week I will have a general idea or theme, By week 2 I will have thought of the rules, week 3 and 4 I will make the game board and pieces, week 5 I will have players test my game and give me feedback, week 6 I will make changes to my game.  I will take pictures and videos to use in my presentation.

• I will survey students about what they like in games and I will research the origins of some of the most popular or long lasting games.

Idea/Example 5

• Project idea: I want to take a class project to the next level and improve it.

• Question: Can I build my own working trebuchet?

• Plan: After I research my design I will make a shopping list. By week 2 I will have my supplies and I will begin to build.  I will build, test and adjust weeks 3, 4, and 5.  I will take pictures and videos to use in my presentation.

• I will research the blue prints for a trebuchet.
