This was a short week due to the snowstorm. Some of the 3rd graders were still in the "ask" phase of the engineering design process, experimenting with various materials to clean an oil spill. Other groups started the "imagine" and "plan" phases, where they brainstormed a few processes and met with their groups to decide on their first plan. I'm excited to see what happens when we test these plans!
In 4th grade, we continued to work on our design engineering challenges. Some groups were busy dismantling and rebuilding their robots with legs, arms, gears, etc. Others were starting to program the robots to draw shapes or go up an incline. The difficulty of these challenges has been teaching us the importance of learning from our mistakes and persevering in the face of obstacles!
In 5th grade, we continued to make action plans for our passion projects and have started putting these plans into action!
