Well Tuesdays and volunteering for the school's Gifted and Talented Program go hand in hand here at my house. Before Spring Break we finished making catapults....and this morning I was scouring online for more science related projects, why?
Because our program is mainly boys...in fact it is 9 boys and 3 girls, and since it is an optional pull out program for the district, I try to keep it as fun and entertaining while tricking them into higher learning. We actually have a great time, but I am so tired of science!
Although today I must confess an addiction to the online physics game Fantastic Contraption. That is the coolest game! You have to constantly figure out how to get from point A to point B using the contraption and adding to it.
I also have been intrigued by the science of Roller Coasters and have discovered a cad drawing site that gives you the online drawing tools to do just that. So while I would like to have them build a business model, or learn the stock market.....it is looking more like a wind machine and trebuchet year again. Anyone have any great site tips?
