Last week, the first and second grade students began a new team challenge. They are to imagine that the power goes out at ASU Prep, and they are asked to stay in the classroom. How can they communicate with a neighboring classroom? In teams of three, the students are to imagine, plan, and create a communication device.
To begin, the class discussed sound. How is sound made? What is a vibration? Next, the students learned about inventions of the past. How did people communicate over long distances in the past? How can this help us? The students had many questions. Finally, the students discussed the challenge and asked more clarifying questions so they could begin planning their devices. They are so excited!
