Howdy folks!
Here we go… another year and to start it off right, I want to learn a little more about the 140 6th graders out there. So students please click on the survey below and let me know who you are and how you learn.
Hi there,
3M engineers came by to help us understand what engineering is and how we can use it to solve problems.
Here are some problems you can solve. We built bridges in class, see if you can build your own virtual bridge!
This one was a little trickier. See what you think.

Hi folks,
As the year is winding down, our school wants to know how to make next year even better. To do that we need your help in letting us know what we need to improve. Here is a link to a survey that we will do in science class. Your username and password will be given to you when you take the survey and are completely confidential. I know we can do better, but despite teacher’s reputations we do not have eyes in the back of our heads. We don’t see and hear everything that goes on so if it is troubling you, it should trouble us too but we will never know unless you share.
Thanks,

Hi there,
I am testing a new way to study for science. Click on the link and it will interrupt your game to ask you questions.
There is a chance this won’t work at all or just won’t work on IPads. If that is the case you will have to study the old fashion way… put it off to the night before and panic.

Hi folks,
It is that time again to see what went well and what we should do again next year. Monroe wants to know what you think about foundations and when it should be. Click here to take the short survey.

Hi there folks,
I wish we could build a Rube Goldberg Machine but time and materials say we can’t. However, we can work on some virtual RGM (Rube Goldberg Machines) right here!

Want to tinker around? Try this one!

Hi there everyone!
This week we are making a hexaflexagon as one of our homework choices. Not sure how? Watch Vi as she shows you how!

Ok, This obviously is not your box but it could happen. On Monday we will open your box and see if the chip is still safe inside.

Hi there,
You will be choosing your classes for next year soon. Here is a copy of what the paperworks look like.
7th grade class list and descriptions
This should be shared with the parents and we will enter our course registration in the next few days. Here is the link to sign in to register

Hi there everybody!
We will dive into engineering in the coming weeks and in order to get a grip on what engineering really is… here is NASA to tell us all about it. Also I found a clip about the difference between Speed and Velocity that made me laugh.
