Algebraic Thinking:
We worked using multiples and common multiples to create Math Art. Check out the creative color schemes!
Novel Study:
We read biographies of each main character noting obstacles that each encountered. We also read a bit more of our novel.
Unit Study:
We learned about orbits and the impact of gravity on orbits. We tried different combinations of mass to see how the orbits changed. We also learned about the Mars Orbital Mission and discussed the similarities with the missions in Hidden Figures. The kids chose two planets or asteroids to create orbits for. It was fun experimenting with these ideas.
Stations:
We used convergent thinking to solve a Fallen Phrase Quote puzzle from Mary Jackson. Then the kids used their divergent thinking to create different ideas for SCAMPER a Computer. The results were SO creative! Love it!
Have a restful and relaxing Spring Break!
