Today I will be teaching a 4th grade science lesson. ]]> 2016-07-25 00:56:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jstephens121/microteachbridge/wish/116887891 Lesson Introduction jstephens121 https://padlet.com/jstephens121/microteachbridge/wish/116888192 I'm sure many of you already know the story of the Gingerbread Man. In case you haven't or you just need a refresher, here is a quick video to jog your memory...]]> 2016-07-25 01:00:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jstephens121/microteachbridge/wish/116888192 Question jstephens121 https://padlet.com/jstephens121/microteachbridge/wish/116888302 Now that we have all been reminded how this story ends; any ideas how we could have helped the Gingerbread Man avoid his untimely demise?

Get him across the water. How? Build a bridge!

Go ahead and divide into 2 groups of 2 then I will explain the project.]]> 2016-07-25 01:02:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jstephens121/microteachbridge/wish/116888302 Challenge jstephens121 https://padlet.com/jstephens121/microteachbridge/wish/116895141 2016-07-25 02:09:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jstephens121/microteachbridge/wish/116895141 Control Bridge jstephens121 https://padlet.com/jstephens121/microteachbridge/wish/116896016 First, I'm going to demonstrate what we will be doing by creating a control bridge. This exercise will be to simply show you the distance your bridge must span and the weight limit it must be able to exceed. 

I'm going to take one index card and lay it across the two containers. Then, see how much weight it can hold on its own.]]> 2016-07-25 02:16:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jstephens121/microteachbridge/wish/116896016 jstephens121 https://padlet.com/jstephens121/microteachbridge/wish/116898575 I've got cookies for the team that creates the strongest bridge.

Each team will get two chances to create a bridge. Each time you create one you must draw a rough sketch and give your prediction of what it will hold before we test (in number of nickels and quarters).]]> 2016-07-25 02:39:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jstephens121/microteachbridge/wish/116898575
