7th Grade

 
9/6/16  Welcome back!  My 7th grade class is during core 1.  We begin the semester with reviewing lab safety, identifying and defining "science", as well as a review of data collection.
 
9/12/16  This week we delve into the world of engineering.  We will be working throughout the week to construct a paper tower with some constraints.  This tower must be at least 1 meter tall, use 20 sheets of paper, while only using 1 meter of tape.  This paper tower must be able to withstand a fan turned on high speed.  Students will use the week to create prototypes, redesign and optimize those prototypes through test trials, and lastly create their final design.
