7th Grade

Menu Designs

Students were given the task of designing a menu for a restaraunt based in an airport called Passport Grille. Students were provided what the items and listed prices were and an overview of what the restaurant wants to portray to the customers. Students used Canva and other tools to create designs and edit pictures for their menus. At the end of the assignment, a guest judge portraying the restaurant owner came in for students to give presentations. The owner then provided a contract to the winning team and offered a reward.

Bridge Building

Seventh graders studied different types of bridges and applied what they learned by designing and building their own using balsa wood. After creating detailed design plans, students carefully cut, pinned, and glued the pieces together to construct their bridges. The unit will conclude with a bridge strength competition to test which design can hold the most weight!

Engineering Design Process-Bridge Building

Students investigated various types of bridges and applied the engineering design process to plan and build their own bridge designs. We will eventually test their bridges to see which bridge can hold the most weight.

Halloween Flashlights Using Circuits

Students made flashlights using popsicle sticks, LED lights, copper tape, and coin batteries. They made Halloween-themed characters of cardstock to attach to the end. Students used an aluminum foil reflector to have the LED light up their character.
