The fifth and sixth grade students are beginning an engineering adventure next week! They will become green engineers as they design and create recycled racers. I have asked all students to bring their materials they have been collecting to school next week. This week, the classes were introduced to two students that they will be working with throughout the entire project. Their names are India and Jacob. These two students have traveled around the world, and will introduce the students to Senegal, a country in West Africa. In Senegal, discarded materials are brought to a scrap market to be reused. We have been collecting recycled materials for our own scrap market that they students will be able to utilize. To review the engineering design process this week, the students created a model tower. The challenge was presented by Jacob and India! |
