Third Grade AIM Update
@norton_AIM
Today in AIM....
Today in AIM we revisited what we had learned about circuits last week and I gave time for all of my friends to successfully light the bulb! Then we got to the main event….. building a switch to open and close a circuit. From this project our class learned some valuable lessons about electricity which we wrote about in our journals for future reference. We also worked on our math challenge wall and then I finally started introducing our Greek PBL for the year! Our scenario was;
It is the year 2035, time-travel machines have been invented and are beginning to be used for vacation purposes. You decide to open a time travel agency! Your business will focus on time-travel trips to Ancient Greece. You will need to decide where you are sending your clients in Greece, what they will do on the trip, where they will stay, Who will take them on a tour, and what they will eat everyday. You will also need to take care of the behind-the-scenes work with the business: how much will everything cost and how will you advertise? You will present your planned trip at a sales pitch to an audience of potential customers.
Essential Question: How can you, as the owner of a new time travel agency, convince potential clients to take a trip to Ancient Greece?
Together we brainstormed all of the things we are going to have to know about Ancient Greece and then it was time to go home! They will have to wait until next Wednesday to start their research!
