First Quarter
For
the first quarter, students on both teams have completed one unit:
- Are You A Square? -- Everyone's height and
reach in cm were recorded in an Excel spreadsheet. Students had to use
built-in functions and their
own
formulae
to convert to inches, feet, yards and miles. Then students in groups of
two found one question about all the data that they could answer. They
completed a lab report with their conclusions, then created a PowerPoint
to present their findings to the entire group.
They began working on a second
unit:
- Each student chose a topic
relating to our trip to the Appalachian
Trail. They researched five questions,
highlighted and bulleted key words and then wrote gobr good paragraphs
to put into an original brochure. In Art class, they drew scenes from
the trip which will be incorporated into the brochure.
