Sled Challenge

Room 10 is exploring what makes a good sled. We have decided to try to make our own sleds (mini) out of LEGO. Together we came up with a criteria for what a good sled would entail. We decided that a "good" sled should have a flat bottom or base, it should hold the passenger in, it should be stable, straight and balanced and it should look cool! After the students finished constructing their sleds they documented them in their math journals. We then learned about the feedback process and in small groups we gave each other feed back regarding how our sleds met the criterial that we created earlier. Some of us took this feed back and changed our sleds to better meet the criteria. Today we had the chance to try out our sleds on the small snow hills in our yard. We decided as a class that LEGO is not the best material to use for sleds because it is not smooth enough and the small holes on the bottom stop or slow down our sleds!

Tomorrow is STEM night please join us from 6:00-7:00 for some fun STEM activities.
