The classes are working feverishly to complete their Lego models for the upcoming first and second grade summative. Each model represents a specific learning place with a learning tool. The challenge is to some way incorporate a simple machine that can be moved using a crank, or motor. The students have been experimenting with elevators, gates, spinning stages, pulleys, fans, playground rides, and many more creative solutions. The groups are problem solving, collaborating, and using their creativity to meet their deadline. The STEM Lab has been a very exciting place as the Lego models have developed, and all of the other classes love seeing what the first and second grade students are coming up with!

The first and second grade students are working very hard on their group projects. Mrs. Obert is working with each group in the learning lab to help design their presentation boards, and organize their research. Last week in the STEM Lab, each group began designing their Lego models for their selected topics. The teams brainstormed and shared their ideas, and they selected one simple machine that will be incorporated into the model. Next week, the groups will begin creating. I can't wait to see their designs come to life!
