Project Block 6 is finising up this week!
Here are descriptions of the projects the 4th & 5th graders are finishing up this week!
Bridge Design & Construction
Calling all architects, engineers and carpenters. The community of Camas Ridge needs a new traffic bridge and we need your help! The community would like a sturdy bridge that can handle a lot of weight but is also nice to look at. Did I mention they are on a budget? Are you up for the challenge to create a bridge that is easy on the eyes, sturdy and doesn’t break the bank? Partners will design and create a model out of toothpicks to showcase their bridge.
The Forces Around Us
Ever wonder how a roller coaster stays on its track while upside-down? Or how an airplane stays in the air? Learn the physics of motion and how forces interact to make things move. You’ll get a chance to explore objects, movement and even build your own roller coasters and paper airplanes!
Designing a Camas Ridge Mural.
In this project students will design a mural for Camas Ridge. We will look at the history of murals around the world and then work with other adults to design one for our school. We will work in both small and large committees to plan and submit a design. If you are willing to work on a group project with a communal outcome this is a project for you.
Voyage of the Mimi,
Join Captain Granvill and his grandson C.T. and the crew of the Mimi on a journey in the Atlantic Ocean to study the humpback whales.
