Magnetic Maze STEM

After learning about magnets, the children were challenged to create a maze and use magnetism to maneuver a paperclip through it.

First they had to brainstorm their ideas.



They then put their ideas into action.



It was a success!    








The following day the children had a chance to use the actiview to demonstrate their maze on the Promethean Board for the class.

iPads for Native American Review

To review for the Native American test, the students made short videos on the iPads explaining the triptych they created for a tribe.  They then broke into groups to watch the videos as they reviewed for the test.





These kids not only have a great grasp of the three tribes but they are also becoming pretty tech savvy!
