We are off to a great start to the school year! Currently we are investigating the concepts of Newton's laws of motions and are working on a hands-on activity to put them to the test. We are also discovering engineering concepts of structures that make them strong. We are combining these concepts into a interactive game where students will experiment by creating their own version of the popular game Angry Birds. Student teams are creating math problems (using different operations), designing catapults and structures, then testing their hypothesis for their project design. After testing (competing), students will reflect and make modifications to their creations and retest. This will be a fun way to use the scientific method in an engaging and challenging way.
