Boundary Breaker: Interpret the meaning of this quote: "The best way to predict the future is to invent it" - Allan Kay
Today we wrapped up our black box investigation by answering reflection questions and comparing group models to help us land on a scientific consensus. We then moved to looking at models and design in the development of the automobile. Students read the article " Early Autos" to learn the history of their development. They then began the design of their own free rolling go carts that they will revise and race in coming weeks.
Our Habit of Mind focus today was on striving for accuracy and precision. Students followed detailed steps to complete a calculator magic trick landing them on the digits of their birthday.
For math, we practiced subtraction and regrouping in base 3 as well as how to read numbers and covert between systems!
We also got to spend some time reflecting on our field study experiences and practicing in our brain stretcher packet.
