Instruments, Kaleidescopes and Robots, Oh My!


Recently, Room 4 had a wonderful day sharing their design process projects with other students and staff in our school. We'd love to share the details, and of course some pictures as well!

At the beginning of the term, we began our Science unit by asking the question "Inventions: How do they help us in our everyday lives?"  We used this question to focus our study on Sound, Light and Simple Machines. 


To share our learning about Light, the grade 4's created a Kaleidescope that reflects light to create beautiful images. 

If you'd like to make one just like us, here's how!

To share our learning about Sound, the grade 4's made instruments. They needed to make more than two sounds and many students made multiple instruments !

To share their learning about Simple Machines, the Grade 5's made Robocritters and Lego Mindstorm Creations.
