Grade TWO Science

In the past few science classes we have been learning about the wheel and axle through exploration. Students were challenged to create their own car. The only criteria was that the wheels had to turn using the somewhat limited supplies that we had. For most of the building time (3 full science classes) you could hear a pin drop in the classroom as the students were so focused on their task. The results were fantastic and I am so proud of these students! We learned so much through the process and from our mistakes.

Yesterday we took our newly completed cars on a parade. Here is a short clip of the cars rolling by!
