Mr. Johnson's and Mr. Lecy's classes built two different models of "breath" powered rockets for the students to test and re-design to find ones that went the farthest.

I tried a lesson from this site in a 4th grade classroom about waves. It was a well thought out lesson with videos to show what the student working looked like and a record sheet for the students. The There are a lot of lessons here to try! Thanks Robert Atkinson for this resource!
Students were given straws and paper clips to build the strongest bridge that weighs the least (least amount of supplies). They can test their designs, re-design, and test again. Each day they fill out an exit slip about what problems they have encountered and possible solutions so the next day they are reminded what they did the previous day.
Who has done the topography lesson with the clear take out trays? Love to hear what you did and include any links to materials you have!
Below is a powerpoint and lesson plan Gina Tanner did with her 4th graders from Mary E. Silveira.
Referenced in the new NGSS draft frameworks. Based on the previous science standards but does have correlation charts for the new standards.
