Week of May 7-11
I can invent a device that is used to complete a task.
Monday, May 7
Walk to the Park day
Tuesday, May 8
Begin “Junk Box Wars”. Students will be given a rubric for the project and I will explain what they will be doing and the items they will be working with. They will be creating a Marble Maze out of items found in a junk box.
Wednesday, May 9
Students will choose the materials that they are going to use from the junk box and design their maze on paper. They will also determine what they will do if a situation comes up during their run and their marble falls out or gets stuck.
Thursday, May 10
Students will begin building their mazes. I hope that they will finish them in one class period.
Friday, May 11
We will conduct our test runs of our mazes. Each team will get 2 runs through their maze.
