A technology day

This week we had a day filled with technology and grade 7 built cars, mostly out of trash. Here you see some of the beautiful cars. 

Jumping Jack

We had technology in the 6th grade and worked on simple paper constructions. Among other things, the class made their own paper doll. Here are some results:

Look how happy pupils you get!

Invertebrates results

The paintings as grade 6 made by invertebrates are finished :) They are fantastic! It was really a fun task. With simple materials such as pieces of cloth, yarn, papier mache, and a lot of gluing they made this beautiful animals. Look and enjoy! 

Molluscs

Crustaceans

Worms

Echinoderms

Arthropods

Cnidaria

They are large circled paintings filled with animals who will decorate an entire wall at the school.
These are then hopefully for educational purposes especially for the younger students.

I am so proud of all the fine contributions!

Build a fish

A while ago I met Hans Persson and he gave me the idea to build a fish. Me and my class took the bait :) on and I was so happy and proud of the class results. Look and enjoy!

Build a bridge

Grade 7 build bridges with glass rods. Several groups have chosen the Golden Gate Bridge, and here you see two examples soon to be ready. 

Paulina puts up the last threads.

Amanda's group challenged themselves properly and chose to build the Rolling bridge.
What a creativity and what a fantastic result!

Invertebrates

In grade 6, we work with invertebrates and in this task we are trying to get into the technology. Therefore, we all build all an animal from any of the groups of animals.
I think the result will be fantastic and look forward to the show. We have a lot of plans!

We´re using papier mache.

Some did the finger crochet.

Others were sewing.

Robins jellyfish begins to take shape.

Ellen makes the foundations of a starfish.

Victor and others were asked to make the paintings to put up the animals on.

Viktor is painting his centipede.

Rocket Racing

We have built rockets for a rocket racing. Who has built the best looking rocket? Who built the rocket that flew the longest? Launching ramp I built at a lesson with Hans Persson. (http://www.hanper.se/)

Half of the class proudly presents their rockets.

They all eagerly wait  for their turn to fire.

The results

Here are the winners! Ellas rocket got the most votes and was named best looking rocket. Patrik built the rocket that flew the longest, more than 30 meters. It was perfectly balanced and it was a lot of tape involved :)

We all had great fun!

Body manufacturing

When we were learning about the human body, we finished it by manufacturing our organs and systems in the body. Here are some of the results:

Lungs and breathing

Circulation of the blood

Digestion

Skin

Eye

Mathematics ABC

Mathematics ABC in wood.

Chart

Reduction
