Grade 1: November 25 - Looping and Pattern detectors

This week, students used a "pattern detector" (a short pipe cleaner bent into an "L") to help find the paths in Kodable where the Looper feature should be used. To be able to use the Looper, there needs to be at least two spots, right side by side, where the pattern detector fits.

Grade 3 November 10 Lesson - Starting our Science Fair Projects

This week, we introduced the idea for our science fair projects. Students will design a water filter to remove various pollutants from water (soil, cooking oil, soap, vinegar), and compare their filter against a basic filter made from a funnel, cotton cloth and dirt. Students researched on the internet about different types of filters that can be bought or built, and then drew pictures of their designs.
