Every year, students look forward to creating collaborative spaceships in 5th grade. This year, students choose their groups, brainstormed the theme, source of power, and design, and created a 3D sculpture. Students thought like artists, persisting through failure, experimenting, playing, and collaborating. On the last day, students presented their creations to the class. I am always amazed with the problem solving, imagination, and team work that goes into these ships!
Working on the ships:
 |
| Problem solving- supports for the wings |
 |
| Reflective satellite |
 |
The flaps wouldn't stay closed so this group designed a new
latch system using caps and yarn. |
 |
| Making a salt water base for their ship. |

"Look, we discovered a new technique!" Students representing fire with marker and tinfoil.
