They must state possible sources of error that occurred and how they would do the experiment differently next time to gain better results. ]]> 2020-02-17 19:16:04 UTC https://padlet.com/henricoschools/xpfv06h7uexy/wish/446488571 Band - I challenged my kids to create an improvised solo using only one pitch.

Once the outline of the tessellation was drawn the students drew and colored an image inside of the shape. The class then anonymously voted to choose the top five tessellations, and they are currently displayed outside of 2808.]]> 2020-02-17 19:17:20 UTC https://padlet.com/henricoschools/xpfv06h7uexy/wish/446488965 https://padlet.com/henricoschools/xpfv06h7uexy/wish/446488992 We let the students create a animated Scratch Project for how a bill becomes a law.

Reconstruction Lego activity: Each table is shown a structure pre made by teacher using at least 16 different Lego pieces. Students are given the same pieces and told to reconstruct what we showed them after only giving them a limited time to look at our original. We destroy ours so they have to work together communicating how they think ours was made.]]> 2020-02-17 19:18:13 UTC https://padlet.com/henricoschools/xpfv06h7uexy/wish/446489300 Rudolph's New Sleigh - all 6th grade science https://padlet.com/henricoschools/xpfv06h7uexy/wish/446489396 Students designed a Popsicle stick, cotton balls, duct tape sled to race down a white board hill.

Then, they honed their theme statement into a central idea, and composed an essay. After both self-editing and peer-editing, students had their finished product (an invaluable expository essay)! :)]]> 2020-02-17 19:20:51 UTC https://padlet.com/henricoschools/xpfv06h7uexy/wish/446490550 I occasionally project a "Creative Draw" for my classes. This is a slide that has two random images...and the directions say, "create a work of art from whatever comes to mind". "Anything goes!"
