This session of 5th grade spanned assemblies and Fall Break (from Oct 16-27). Over the course of the first quarter, some classes had missed various lessons so we've been doing "catch up" to get all the classes back on the same page. Classes that hadn't missed a session got to spend extra time building bridges on Engineering Games and creating contraptions using constraints on Tinkerball.
6th Grade-
6th graders finished off Q1 with more self-selected technology modules. Some chose to continue creating video games in Gamestar Mechanic or creating coding animations in Scratch. Others chose to explore creating 3D digital designs using the free Google SketchUp software.
Q2 started this week and the new students spent the week getting an introduction to engineering. We talked about what engineers do and learned about the engineering design process. To practice going through the steps in the EDP, P5 and P7 built towers with cups and popsicle sticks and P6 used pipe cleaners. We ended the week getting our laptops set up and explored Google Classroom and Google Docs.
