Where the Rivers Run: Bonus Video

In the first of these snippets (the one on the left), students explain the the assistant principal the process of designing a boat for a purpose. They also made a case for teamwork.  At right, students begin the process of loading the first boat with dinosaurs.

Below is a great shot of a fully loaded boat reaching its capacity (left), until its remarkably fast sinking (right).

The boat design project combined the following:

• History:  The Lewis and Clark Expedition
• Reading:  Lewis Prepares for the Expedition
• Science:  Design and Testing Hypothesis
• Math:  Multiples of Two
• Writing:  Reporting the Steps of the Project Chronologically

We also recorded the steps of the project in the Seesaw app on our iPads.  This was done by taking pictures with the iPads and by entering a note into the app.  Following the event, I kicked off a series of lessons about making better introductions in our writings.

I love it when a plan comes together.
