Have you
ever imagined a theme park designed with your favorite rides? In our class you
will have the opportunity to create one and test it to make sure it all works. During
the seven weeks, you will build/design your own Mini Amusement Park, using
paint, tubes, water, Kinetic and Potential energy, paper mâché, clay and much
more.
Our seven-week
course is designed to teach students:
Science: Apply the scientific method, explore
Mechanical, Structural and Civil engineering, patterns, and communication
methods.
Technology: Analyze problems and design solutions
to explore different operations, use logic, and develop reasoning.
Engineering: using the laws of physics,
hydraulics, contraptions, simple circuits, and exploring engineering
principles.
Arts: Colors, patterns, drawing,
music, and also writing, timelines, storytelling, themes and creating
presentations.
Math: Reason abstractly and explore
the number line, fractions, probability, solving real world problems, geometry,
angles, curves, diameter, distance, time, measuring and variables.
