Mrs. Lim helped us learn how all of the different parts work and now we have been left to our own devices for a few weeks. In that time, we are working in groups of 4-5 to create a product that has a function. Below you will find a photo of our learning intentions and basic criteria for this project. Basically, we need to design something innovative using Little Bits and other recycled materials.
Last week, Division 1 and 2 had a visit from one of our district's Science Helping Teachers, Mrs. Lim. She introduced us to some pretty amazing tools called Little Bits. Basically, Little Bits are magnetized circuits that can be used to build our own creations; different pieces and combinations light up, make buzzing sounds, make propellers move, create vibration and react to pressure.

Basically, we need to design something innovative using Little Bits and other recycled materials. Today, we had our first official work session for these projects. It was so much fun! All of us were engaged and excited to be learning in a really creative way. Some of our current plans include cars, a working elevator, an air hockey table, an alarm clock, and a UFO. We know that we will have to think critically about our results each session in order to make improvements to our designs. Who knows what the final results will look like! We look forward to sharing our learning process - both the highs and the lows - with everyone in a few weeks.
