Over the past week or so, our class has been learning A LOT about different aspects of the Winter Olympics. This year's Olympics are being held in Pyeongchang, South Korea and opening ceremonies are today, February 9th.
To celebrate and honor the opening ceremonies, the students participated in a Ski Jump STEM challenge. The students were in small groups and had to design a plan for a ski jump that could launch a marble. The students were able to launch a marble four times and added up the total distance for a team score. I was so proud of the team work and cooperation I saw across the classroom!
Later on in the day, the students learned about the traditions of the Olympic Torch. The students were able to make their own torch that will stay in the classroom until the day before February break!
Here are some photos from our morning...
Ask your child how many centimeters their marble flew?
