Next Round of Literature Discussion Groups

So some students just loved their books, and others...not so much. In one group we actually abandoned our book and discussed some of the reasons why a reader abandons a book.

Rolling Through Forces & Motion

We have culminated our study of forces and motion by creating our own roller coaster.  Last week the students work to design their roller coaster on their own plot of land. They had to first think of the layout the ride would take within their park (area).  Then they worked in teams to make the best ride.  Here is just the start of their designs. Tomorrow we will test them and see if our design needs some "tweaking".
