| Students participating in the Marshmallow Challenge. This is a great critical thinking AND teamwork exercise. |
 |
| Float or Sink? Using the Scientific Method, students made hypotheses about which types of candy would float or sink. They were then able to test their ideas and graph the data. Finally, a discussion about WHY some things float, while others do not. |

| From Putt-Putt to Pebble Beach: Students are designing a playable mini-mini golf course using the engineering design process. They are learning about creating alternative solutions, development work, scale models, testing, and redesigning. |
 |
| The DaVinci parachutes are taking shape! Students solved geometry problems and learn background physics concepts as they built working models of Leonardo Da Vinci's parachute. We will be testing their models in a few short days! |
 |
| What happens when you combine a few household items such as baking powder, powdered sugar, and rubbing alcohol, then add heat to the mix? Students learned just this on Halloween. They were asked to journal while I conducted the experiment; creating hypotheses, changing their guesses, and observing using their senses the entire time. We had a lot of fun with this project! |

| Critical Thinking activity - graphing ideas, making educated guesses, testing, and concluding. |
