They were given specific challenges during each session (build as many contraptions as possible using the smallest number of planks, for example).

  • Pumpkin Elevators

    Students in Grade 4 were challenged to create an elevator for a haunted house that could lift a small pumpkin. They were given a limited amount of time and materials, and they rose to the challenge!

  • Area & Perimeter Zoos

    In the second quarter, fourth graders were challenged to design their own zoos. This project-based learning opportunity allowed students to experience how a wide variety of math skills applied to a real-life situation. Students were required to use checklists, create blue prints, and incorporate map skills to find the area and perimeter of each enclosure and facility within their zoo. To further enrich their learning, several students created an Animal Informational Guide based on one animal habitat that they created.
