During the OM class J spent 2 hours working on his group's project which is
Problem 4: You Make the Call Divisions I, II, III & IV
For this problem, teams will design and build a structure made of only balsa wood and glue that will balance and support as much weight as possible. The structure may have a maximum weight of 9 grams and will receive 2 times the weight held, or 12 grams and receive 1 ½ times the weight held, or 15 grams and receive the actual weight held. The testing of the structure will be presented in a performance that includes mathematics in its theme.
During the OM class M spent 2 hours working on her group's project which is
Problem 3: To Be or Not To Be Divisions I, II, III & IV
In this Classics problem, teams will put a musical theatre spin on one of William Shakespeare's most famous lines: "To Be Or Not To Be." Hamlet, the title character, ponders this question and realizes that the easy way out is not always the correct choice. An original "Hamlet" character will face a team-created dilemma. Unlike Shakespeare's Hamlet, the team's character will take the easy way out only to discover that it was the wrong choice. Teams will also incorporate a character that portrays Hamlet's conscience, a creative scene change, a creative costume change, and use of a "trap door." A portion of the performance will include musical theatre elements.
J also spent time with Duct Tape crafts. He is making a bag out of duct tape. I can't wait to see it.
M spent time in Cooking Class. Today they made soap! Very cool.
