Science:We will continue our Project Based Learning opportunity for the remainder of the school year. Students will be investigating incline planes through hands on experience. We will be bringing in a physical therapist to speak to the students about incline planes and what they look for when helping their patients as well as codes to meet. Much like shark tank, students will have to use their knowledge blue print the best incline plane and then “pitch it” to be “bought”. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
