Inventors Hall of Fame

New PBL Activity:
The director of SciWorks has asked you as a curator to help with a project. The Winston-Salem Convention Bureau has announced the Inventors Guild will be holding their annual meeting in the city this year. The Bureau would like to set up a display celebrating 20th century inventions and inventors. The Bureau has contracted with SciWorks to create the display.

Skype Conversation

We just had our first Skype conversation with the class in Georgia. They could see and hear us fine, and although we could see them, we couldn't hear them . . . ugh! We still enjoyed our visit and saw some interesting books that we want to read! They were nice enough to tell us the authors of some of the book when we asked!

New PBL Activity!

The Aquarium:
Your class will be getting a 30 gallon aquarium. The class will have $25.00 to spend on fish. You will plan which fish to buy. Use the Choosing Fish for Your Aquarium brochure to help you select the fish. The brochure tells you things you must know about the size of the fish, how much they cost, and their special needs. Choose as many different fish as you can. Write a letter explaining the fish you chose.

Giant Book Covers

Each student used watercolors to create a giant book cover for the last book she read. This Friday, we will be talking with a class in Georgia about these projects (using Skype).
