Simple Machines Where We Are in Place and Time G 5 and 6


Jin and Sean made a bulletin board about the books "Meet Molly" and "Molly Learns a Lesson." They included captivating captions and pictures. Click on the picture to see an up close view. 


The other students didn't quite finish yet.




We tried some peer assessment in Mathematics.


ICT class and the PYP  merged and collaborated in making a timeline on our computers.



Grade 5 and 6 learned Archimedes's Law and Formula of Levers (and balances). 




The formula states that the mass multiplied times the distance equals the mass times the distance on the other side.


We observed this mystery machine picture and guessed it's function. We investigated the simple machines that comprised it. By the way, this is a bed maker. Wouldn't you love to have it at your house. 




G 5 and 6 has been studying simple and compound machines in relation to Science and Mathematics. We made hexagons with triangles inside.



We made a carousel with popsicle sticks. 



This was our base and stand.


This tepee shape base proved to be too small and so we had to go back to the drawing board.


We will later try to get this machine to turn using a motor. 

 

Diego made this Storm Glass. It shows the weather. When the crystals are on the bottom that means that the weather is getting warmer. 




To reduce cost and to be frugal, we decided to turn this $5.00 Santa dress into an Annie costume for our Celebration of Learning.
