6 the kind of student we want

4, 5 PFS

Homework is to get this sheet signed and completed for class tomorrow.

1,2,3 Setting up your notebook

On the front cover

Friday - Now that's a crazy cube pattern...

Let's share our cubes, and also set the stage for a great learning community by giving each other positive and helpful feedback.

Bring your notebook on Monday!

Thursday - The Kind of Student We Want

We read a little inspirational story about Niels Bohr, and then got creative...

Your custom cubes (two per group!) need to be ready to go at the start of class tomorrow!

Wednesday - Look at the pretty patterns...

Sometimes we can deduce solutions just by making good observations and looking for patterns.

What is opposite the side with the "2"?

Now let's give you some high-tech observational equipment (the shiny thing ;-) and see if you can determine what is opposite of the "FRANK" side...

Cubes

Tuesday - Let's go fishing!

Yesterday we learned about creativity and persistence, today we'll look at thinking outside the box...

Can you make the fish shape?  Can your group do it four different ways?

Here's a link to that page about the simple series we see all over nature, the Fibonacci series.

Monday - Leaning tower of Science

What is science?  What is biology?  and how can you build a tower over one meter using only one piece of paper and a little tape?

Homework (HW)  on a half sheet of paper, draw your tower, and explain:
1.  How high it was (cm)
2.  What worked well on your tower?
3.  What would you do differently to build a taller tower?

Happy New (School) Year!

It's going to be a great year!
