Day: 11 Rides

Today we learned a lot about Chinese culture. We learned about how different Chinese life is compared to U.S. We also learned how to make rockets using the foam pipe cleaners.  The Rides workshop was very hands-on and exciting. I will use the rocket building when I teach a unit on Space with my gifted students. I will incorporate all the subject areas into this lesson.

We also learned how to build bridges using balsam wood. We had to work together in pairs. This is a good team building exercise. I will also use the bridge building to teach teamwork, engineering, and math skills. I am looking forward to day 12.
