We built a roller coaster following the engineering design process.
THINK: We thought about starting high and then going low with loops. DESIGN: We tried it on the computer. We failed two times. CREATE: We have started to make it into real life with foam tracks. TEST: We haven't gotten to this yet. - Liam & Nick THE PEOPLES: We followed the engineering design process by, first we thought of our coasters, then we designed them on paper, next we chose one then we designed it on the computer and tested it. We made 19 modifications until... SUCCESS! - Sophie, Hayden, and Brixton Today we made roller coasters. First, we drew our own roller coasters. Then, we combined them. After that, we built it on a the computer, but made many (21) modifications until... SUCCESS! ~ Summer and Victoria ~The Kitten Kompany We got what you need. Meow! Today we made roller coasters. First, we made a foam roller coaster that safely carried a marble down the track. We did follow the engineering design process. Next we made a diagram of a coaster that we would use for a website. We failed 11 times and succeeded twice. - Channing, Macie, and Brady

He is a production engineer and he taught us how they get oil out of the ground using straws, ice, and juice. Here are some of the things we learned:
We really appreciate Mr. Harms coming in to talk to us and teach us about engineering in the oil industry.
Captain MArrow's Boat Of Doom! (GT Project)In this class we are learning about engineering. We were supposed to make a product out of random things found around the room. For our "product" we made a boat called Captain Marrow's Boat Of Doom. It is made out of a tape dispenser, a blue tube-like pencil grip, popsicle stick, piece of paper, and a paper figure (which is Captain Marrow). How we tested it is quite "boring". We got a box, then put water in it, and we put the boat in the water. The boat floated! I would say our project was quite a success. The functions to the structures are... Tape dispenser - Hold everything together. Blue Tube-like grip- The seat. Popcicle stick- The pole for the flag. Piece of paper- Flag Paper Figure (Captain Marrow)- Add endless fun to the boat. We had fun with this topic. You don't have much to do with this project, but it is very fun. I am proud of our project, for it was awesome to make and test. -Nick, and Channing.

After reading the book, "Rosie Revere, Engineer" we became engineers by taking apart old objects to look at each objects parts. We learned that a specific piece of something is called a structure and the job or purpose of the piece is called the function. After taking our designed objects apart, we created a T chart to list each objects different structures and the function of each piece. You can come look at them in our classroom!
