My Project

My classes love to design and build different things as we work through our units for 8th grade. There are many opportunities with Newton's Laws, Speed and Motion, and Astronomy to give them a problem that needs to be solved with a structure or a shelter or a space craft, etc. Their imaginations are always working and they can come up with some of the best ideas.

With these colorful blocks, they will have all that they need to imagine and build to their heart's content.

Who knows, we may even have some new inventions from their bright young minds. Think of how much fun it would be to build a Rube Goldberg machine with these fun blocks!! Then, when they are done, they can neatly store the blocks away in the plastic containers until the next time that we are ready to use them.
