Weekly IXL and Latin.

It's time for our milk carton project to begin!

We started asking important questions and brainstorming for our milk carton project.

Lead Engineers helped their team through this first step in the engineering design process. Hopefully next week we'll finish up the planning stage and begin building.

Our Engineering Challenge

There has been a disaster! Your civilization was rocked by an earthquake, and you must rebuild one building (compound sentence). Because of the earthquake, you have a limited amount of supplies with which to rebuild.

Teams of students were challenged to build the tallest structure they could in eight minutes. The structure had to be free-standing, and then had to be placed on four squares at the end of the table without falling over. The structure had to touch all four squares.

Question, Brainstorm and Plan!

It's important to be prepared, so after the students read the challenge, they began planning.

Building

They had two minutes to plan together and eight minutes to build their (possessive) structure.

Part 1: Measuring

Part one of the judging criteria was to see which team built the tallest structure.

Part 2: The Move

Students had two minutes to move their structure to the four green squares and to make any last minutes changes or adjustments. In order not to be disqualified, the structure had to touch all four. Every team met this criteria!

The team with the tallest structure

The team with the tallest structure that touched all four squares: Way to go, Victoria (lead engineer), PAXTON, Alison, Jonah, and Tomas.

17 inches!!

Reflection

It's always important to reflect, to look back on what you did and to think about what you learned and how you could do things differently to improve the outcome.

The Engineering Design Process

We're gearing up for our milk carton project!

"Drawing" Conclusions

Using context clues, students had to draw conclusions for their cartoon featuring Sylvester and Tweedy Bird. After they drew their conclusions, I gave them the ending to their cartoon strip. In small groups, the students then compared the context clues they found and their conclusions.
