Week 3 - Levers, Robotics, Drive Belts, and More

     Kindergartners will continue this week utilizing different materials and practicing our lab procedures.  We will work on sharing, building, and cleanup. First grade will be trying to build larger group castles after building individual castles last week.  I am most worried about the collaboration piece since there will be three castles being built for a class of 24.  Second grade will be working with K'NEX to build a 2-D owl and  house.  Next week, they will try creating a 3-D house.  Third will use their prior experience with levers to build a lever of their choice and get pompom balls onto the target on the floor.  Fourth and Fifth grade will be continuing the robotics challenge and the Academy of Engineering projects from last year, completing the one they did not do last week.  It's going to be a busy week.
