This is a great example of project based learning for our students. As they explained their projects and I asked them questions about simple machines, it was clear that this activity has helped them gain a greater understanding of the material they were studying. Thanks to Mrs. Hovey and Mrs. Reicks for undertaking this activity for the benefit of our students. The kids learned a lot and they had a great time doing it.

Third Grade Science Fair
On Friday, I had the opportunity to visit the third grade science fair at the elementary/middle school cafeteria. It was a lot of fun interacting with each of the students as they demonstrated and explained the various machines they had created. Below is a short video I created from my visit. It's nothing fancy, and it's my first attempt at video creation using my IPAD, so bear with me.
