After reading about this wonderful inventor, students love making a Ferris wheel with K'Nex!

Students observed several types of rocks and selected one to draw.  I then had them list several adjectives to describe it.  Then I had them select a book and find additional information on their rock before taking a photo of it and making a combined rock book to display in media center.

I discovered that one of our 7th grade science teachers was working on a unit about fish and pollution. We are working on a plan for an interdisciplinary unit using last year's SSYRA winner The Neptune Project. If we can find the funds, we'll even invite the author to meet with the students.

Science Maker SpaceIn the OMS media center in the Innovation Station area, I have setup an exploring the sciences station. Some days we tune into the National Zoo other times it’s the Southwest Florida Eagle Cam.

Students LOVE building in our Engineering section, which has wheels, cups and yogurt containers. The "wheels" came from the ends of the big rolls of paper in Production, the smaller cups came from the snack cups given out by the cafeteria, and the yogurt containers came from what I eat! Simple, easy and fun!

The students loved piecing the puzzle together and watching the gears spin.

After our last webinar, I decided to purchase some of the games other media specialists used for makerspaces in their libraries. Yahtzee and Mastermind are big hits, so thank you! :)

I used the Little Bins for Little hands website for directions. I used a noodle with with ridges and a regular one and cut 1/2 " slices.  it was easy to cut. I cut a few in half and put them out with colored toothpicks. It's only been out a day but the kids are checking it out.  It was a very easy and cheap makerspace!

Students use K'Nex pieces to create moving objects as well as flat art creations. They explore the different pieces to figure out which ones will work best to make their creation.

We are following up on science learning goals on changes in matter by using the 3Doodler pens. We can clearly see how the matter has changed.

The challenge was to build the tallest structure they could with the cups provided. This was the tallest structure.

Our Media Center Computer Lab provides an exploration center to further knowledge of in class studies on the Solar System.

Magnetics - Electronics - Gears
Students LOVE to create with these - and, my bad, the first set of batteries were DEAD so the student drew the conclusion that the Snap Circuit didn't work - not realizing that the issue was the batteries. I have several different Snap Circuit kits and I put a different one out weekly in a space that is a dead end hall so the project in process can stay out all week.

Nick Bruel, author of Bad Kitty, visited our school and left our students more than excited about creating their own book. Their chosen title, SAD GORILLA. This month's makerspace is a creation of our own book.  Each grade level has different activities.  At the end of the month, we will publish their work and catalog for our library.

Our students will be using a Media Center computer set up with the Smithsonian Animal Webcams to write about for our Science Makerspace. They will write 3 facts about the animals or draw 3 facts. Facts will come from the webcam observation, library books at the Makerspace station, and their own background knowledge.

Materials: 2 SPHERO robots, 2 ipads , SPHERO edu app, homemade game grid or blue painters tape, markers of some sort

This is played very much like the traditional board game. Each team has a game grid (minimum 4x4), sphero and ipad. Each team marks on a paper where their boat is on the grid keeping it secret from the other team. Each team takes turns launching their sphero towards their opponents grid, keeping track of hits and misses. First team to sink their opponents "boat" wins.

This is a great activity for the kiddos in K-5. Definitely needed to map out some guidelines.

Our 5th grade Science teacher modeled this activity on the morning news - harmonica making. The standard is Sound. All you need is 2 tongue depressors, 3 small rubber bands and 2 pieces of a straw (1/4 of a straw each). The kids LOVE this activity!

I bought 4 Mensa rated puzzles from Amazon.   The kids were immediately engaged.  Pictured here, playing chess and puzzling - multitasking at its best.
