Genius Hour---Take One!

The 6th and 7th Grade ELP students have recently wrapped up an independent study in a program called "Genius Hour".  Students selected a topic/idea/theme they had a great deal of interest in or passion for, mapped out a research plan and final project idea, created a final project and then presented their projects to their peers.  We had students with projects ranging from creating rainbow cupcakes to experimenting with "elephant toothpaste and building sugar rockets. Below are pictures and videos from a few of the projects shared with their peers.  The ELP students will plan to create 2 more "Genius Hour" projects over the course of the school year.

ELP 2018-2019 Beginning BLOG

MVCSD ELP has begun and we continue to build on our STEM work and pre-computer skills/coding continues.  The above video clip demonstrates our first experience with Ozobots.  The ozobots "follow" the color-coded/computer coded path created by the students.  Our challenges were to apply the computer coding we have learned and create new paths for the ozobot to follow.  The sensors on the ozobot "read" the color-coded computer language.  Standards addressed:  CC.K-12.MP.1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. CC.K-12.MP.2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively. CC.K-12.MP.5 Use appropriate tools strategically. CC.K-12.MP.6 Attend to precision.
