Description

Class Experience

Each meeting, students will be presented a new science experiment or design challenge to work on in class together.

Students will be shown the final product, the materials needed, and discuss ideas for how they will accomplish the task. Then students will go off to work! At the end of class, students will have the opportunity to share what they have created with the rest of the group and share what they have learned.

Day 1: Tallest Tower of Straws
Day 2: Straw Planes
Day 3: Balloon-Powered...

Students will improve their ability to follow the scientific method (make observations, ask questions, perform an experiment, report findings, and share with others).

Students will practice creative problem-solving skills.
