We are exploring a unit titled The Handiest Things. In this unit we are going to learn about tools and how they are helpful to us.  We discuss the parts and purposes of those tools.  We also learn about what classifies objects as technologies.  Students learn that a technology is anything created by humans, and that they are created to solve a problem.

We are exploring a unit titled Robots Everywhere.  In this unit we learn about what robots are and what they need in order to work.  Students get to design their own robots to solve a problem they have.

We are exploring a unit titled Crayons.  In this unit we will learn all about crayons: how they are made, what they are made of, how we can change them.

We are exploring a unit titled Hurricane.  In this unit students research Hurricane Katrina and learn about levees.  They also get the chance to build their own levee and see if it is successful.

We are exploring a unit titled The Grand Canyon in which we learn about how the Grand Canyon is formed and how it continues to change.  We learn about weathering and erosion and how those two things play a part in changing the Grand Canyon over time.
