Thanks to Mr. Soule and Amy Ball for providing the money to get the Lego sets for 4 teams. This Case Study is Physics in Action!! It has been fun to watch as the kids learn by exploring the parts and what they do, are given a goal (like get the car moving) and then debrief what works and what to improve.
Each team (Team Shamrock, Robo Rage, Duds, and Voyager) knows that the Rover has 4 tasks it is to do. All team members participate and help also to create a poster, and scientific journal/notebook that explains their thinking process. They have learned that the more they share, the more everyone gains in design.
These pictures cover the last week as we have spent time with Newton's first and second laws! The Competition is April 27!!
