5th Grade - ELA/Digital Learning
SOL/Standard - 5.1 The student will use effective communication skills in a variety of settings.
Learning Experience
Students will first step inside the world of Amazon and take Virtual Video Tours to learn about the people and technology that make Amazon what it is today including the process of how items are packaged and shipped from start to finish. Students will then work collaboratively in groups of 3-4 to plan, design, and build a container that will fit in the pony envelope (large manila envelope) that will ensure the candy canes do not get crushed or broken as they travel between 2 schools. Students must use at least 3 different materials from the classroom (meaning no one can just wrap their candy canes in bubble wrap and be done). The container must be big enough to hold 5 candy canes and small enough to fit in a pony envelope (large manila envelope).
