Animated Vocab GIFs

We had such a busy day in GT! Students explored Cams and how they impact the movement of a mechanism. They also turned a vocabulary word from this unit into an animated GIF. Can you guess what word each one represents?

Mechanical Art with Linkages

Students had a gear lab to explore how gears change motion and torque. They then had a linkage lab where levers are used to create motion. They then created a mechanical piece of art with moving parts. Check out their hard work!

Energy Transfers and Slo-Mo videos

We are starting strong in our Kinetic Engineering Unit. Students learned about the Law of Conservation of Energy and how energy transfers to other forms. With a strong focus on kinetic energy and elastic and gravitational potential energy, students experimented and captured some awesome energy transfers in a slow motion video. Check out their amazing work!

Micro:bit Games

What do you get when you combine a tiny computer with some coding and some 4th grade GT students? A micro:bit of fun! Micro:bits are a new addition to the class and 4th graders were able to be the first to use them. They programmed them to show a happy or sad face and decided on the sounds that went with each. They then had "yes" or "no" interviews using them and then played a class name game. Check out their exploration.
