So Much For One Post!

February has come and almost gone -

and in that time your students have completed their real-word problem solving projects.  The goal was to create a greenhouse that had to be 900 cubic feet.  The choice of dimensions were up to them.  After completing a complete process of design, critique, and justification - they were able to use the app +Doink  to present from an 'actual' greenhouse.  During the process - they got their first exposure to greenscreening and movie production.  At the end of this post you will find links to all completed projects.  Points were awarded for effort, diligence, and attitude.  I think it is safe to say the students really enjoyed this!



BUT - FIRST!

Coming in just 3 weeks will be our DC field trip -- SPREAD THE WORD -- and help us get there! We won't get a fully funded trip most likely - but we can definitely help these parents send students to a once in a lifetime experience!
