7th grade: Titanic Unit

Titanic Introduction: Using a variety of materials, 7th graders were asked to construct a boat that could hold many marbles without sinking.  Here are a few of the prototypes.








This was not made in class.  But I had to take a photo. It's a great replica of the Titanic.

6th: Creating Original Games

6th graders played a variety of challenging games this week to get their creative juices flowing for making an original game of their own.  They will share these games with 3rd graders on a future field trip.

BLINK:  the fastest card game, definitely challenges your quickness!

Take 4!  Like scrabble but at a much faster pace!!

Last Word:  A race to have the last word!

Knock-Out: A game that involves math strategy!
