Year 3 – Room 17 Ms Gill & Mrs Matthews 

   

Last weeks homework task was designed for fun and for students to get creative.

To design a showbag and make its contents to share with the class this week.

One student finished hers last week. She did a fantastic job creating a mini showbag called ‘Mini Nibbles’

Well Done Emma.

We had some more clever and creative designs shared today

I look forward to seeing more over the week ☺

Last week for Team Work Tuesday students worked in teams to construct a Marble Run. Their task was to use recycled materials, masking tape and their table top, tipped upright, to keep a marble continuously moving for the longest time possible.

Building a marble run is a fun hands-on science activity and a great way to get students involved in an exciting engineering challenge—one that has clear and immediate results. Will the marble make it from top to bottom? How long of a run can you build? What design modifications might decrease/increase the marble’s speed?

Students explored construction challenges, design issues, principles of physics, and engineering problems while creating their marble run, they also  put the design process into action. They think creatively. They innovate. They prototype, test, and then make changes. And they have fun.
