Hand Fans

Hand Fans

Hi! Internet readers, this is Genevieve and Ritisha blogging here. We are going to be blogging about hand fans.

         In engineering, we are building our own hand fans. If you want to make one you need to have:

-A good airflow

-An on/off switch

-Needs to be under a certain amount of money

-Needs to fit comfortably in your hand

         The tools you might want to use are:

-Battery & motor

-Wires

-Tape/electric tape

-Paper clip/fastener

-Craft sticks

-Hard/ strong paper

         Here are the steps you will need to make the hand fan:

         1.you need to plan, how you’re going to build it.

         2.you need to figure out what your doing

         3.you need to find out how much you’re spending and what your budget is.

         4.you start building

         5.you test it

6.you make it better

The buz room

The Buz room

Hi! Internet readers this is Nandana and Vahini blogging. Today we are going to type about 3 stations in the BUZ room. The topic of the BUZ room is engineering.

         The first station of the BUZ room is float your boat. In float your boat you have to make a clay boat, and put it in the water to see how many pennies you can hold before your boat sinks. How many could you hold?

         The second station of the BUZ room is circuit play. What you do there is choose a circuit set and add devices to your structure to make something. Such as a fan and a electric light bulb.

         The last station we will “BUZZ” about is the marble maze! You have to create a structure to let the marble run through the maze, without failing. To make it “BUZZTASTIC”. You might want to add obstacles to your course.

         You might want to do these projects at home. This is Nandana and Vahini buzzing off!!!  

Amazing Marbles

This exploration class is called Amazing Marbles! On the first day we went to all different stations. One was a magnetic marble run. We made marble runs out of blocks and had the regular marble run. There was a challenging one that looked really fun but it turned out to be really hard to put together. We also  had to make a marble run out of tubes and tape. On the second day we made marble runs with pizza boxes and clay.We got to take them home along with a marbles. On the third day we learned how to play the game Marbles. We also got to take home a bag of marbles!

All About Chess

All About Chess!

                                             By: Jibril. A and Atilla. S

Chess is about stratagy and knowledge. Chess is also about knowing what figure to move. All the front pieces are called Pawns and the 2 middle back pieces are called King and Queen. And then the ones next to them are called Bishops. The ones next to those are called Knights. Then next to that is called rooks. On there first move the Pawns can move 2 spaces forward! The King can move only one space.
The Queen can move anywhere it wants and as much as it wants. The Bishop can move diagonal. Knights can move in a L shape. Rooks can move forward, backward, and sideways as many spaces as it wants. Every piece can move backwards except for the Pawns. That's why chess is AWSOME! And you should try it.

TFK Election Votes

       TFK Electoral

             Votes

           BY: Sydney & Emma  

      In class we learned how voting works through a video online. Also on TFK’S website we learned that they count votes by state electoral votes and not on how many people vote. We went on the TFK website and saw each of the two candidates views so we knew who to vote for.

       For voting day Mrs. Strubles’ class voted for who our class wanted to win. She printed off pieces of paper and on it was two little boxes and by each box there where the two candidates Obama and Romney.

      We made a check on the box of the candidate that we wanted to vote for and put it in a bin. Mrs. Struble counted the votes and then she told us who won in the class and the winner in our class was Barack Obama.

Inventor's Fair

Inventor's Fair

By: Mulki & Logan 4K

  

The Inventor's Fair is a 4th grade unit where all 4th graders use materials from home to make an ORIGINAL invention. Then 3rd grade comes and asks/looks at your invention.

"The funnest part was building the unknown." 

You also need a poster,too, for explaining/naming your idea. "Some of my favorites were the Mega Mitt, Sun buster, and Card Collector," said an unknown student. 

It's pretty fun, Families get to come too!
