The Grade 4 students have been investigating Simple Machines. We been testing, building, and reflecting on how simple machines such as levers, gears, and wheels/axles can reduce the amount of work needed to move a load.
We also got to meet some grade 9 leaders from RT Alderman! In our small groups, our RT leaders helped us to dive deep into the "Empathy" stage of Design Thinking. We are working very hard to gain a deep understanding of our 'Everyday Problems" so that we can design effective and useful inventions to solve them. The conversations were focused, meaningful, and insightful. The students also really enjoyed working together! We look forward to continuing to work with our RT leaders periodically throughout our invention projects.
