Inquiring minds....

Hello,

We have had a very hands on last week learning about levers, wheels and pulleys.  Scientists in Schools came to our learning commons to work with us on simple machines, understanding how they work and what they are used for.  

 We also raced some cars and recorded which car went fastest, farthest and which one stopped first.

After hearing a story about a cat and dog who had very different ways of living we made living spaces that the two characters could share that would allow for a peaceful living situation using Lego.  Some of us had a chance to add a mechanical feature to the house using the Little Bits from the Maker carts and we look forward to creating more during our learning.

We found a great rap that helps us remember our multiples to make math come alive in our room.
