Sled and Slope

Today students finished building and testing their sleds and slopes. They reflected on their design and material choices and explained what worked well and what they think they would change to improve it.

Some discoveries:

"The tape is not as slippery as the cardboard so we need to take the tape off."
"Our slope is to steep and the animals fall out. We need to make it so they don't crash into the ground."
"Our hill keeps collapsing so we need to make it stronger."
"The jump at the end slowed it down, so we moved it."

After lunch, students in Room 10, 15 and 16 watched part of Wall-e and students created a storyboard to show a timeline of events. This movie connects to our community focus and the positive and negative impact humans have in their environment. After the break we will continue to refer back to this movie as students will be required to solve some of the problems they observed.

Keep up the community spirit and wear your silly socks tomorrow!
