Survivor Science in 6Z
In Mrs. Zei’s science class students were learning about Newton’s Laws of Motion. To gain a better understanding of the 2nd law students were given the challenge to pick 2 people in their tribe to increase their acceleration. Since the 2nd law has to do with how force and mass affect acceleration.
Digital Footprint
In Mrs. Zei’s DEB class students determined which candidate would be a better host for a television show called, “The Trillion Dollar Footprint”. Students had to find evidence to show that their candidate was honest and worked well with people. They were given a profile sheet that was submitted to the executive producers of the show, as well as information from a private investigator including things like facebook, blogs, etc.
Digital Footprint continued
