Question of the night: What are you building with your K'Nex building project?
This morning, we started with a bit of music...recorders are coming along. I'm getting many reports about white, yellow, blue, and other belts... After music, we explored the strength of structures, specifically looking at arches. We tested if an arch could withstand more weight than another type of shape (a square or straight beam)...and yes, it can! We then looked at some roman aqueducts and the wildlife crossings in Banff National Park. It's no wonder why those are both designed with arches. We also had the pleasure of listening to three family background presentations, one that originated in Northwest Territories, Another in China, and one in Ukraine and Germany. Amazing, again! In the afternoon, we used some of our knowledge about shapes in the morning to begin our k'nex building challenges. Some of us are building bridges, others are building devices that use simple machines. Don't worry, you'll get to build each type. We will continue this building all week. Have a good night! ____________________________________________________ Walking Wednesday Any students who walk, ride, bike to school on Wednesday will be entered for a prize. ____________________________________________________ Power Hour January 2017 Camel Group -- https://studio.code.org/sections/DYTPMD Lion Group -- https://studio.code.org/sections/DSBGDD ____________________________________________________ Reminders:
