SIG Hudson Week 1
The many triumphs and intellectual challenges in Hoboken!
Notes from Ms. Lawrence & Miss Gaby
Just a reminder: Parent/Teacher Meet and Greet is next week on Wednesday, July 16th at 8 AM on the 3rd floor of the Hudson School. Come and briefly discuss your student's work and progress with instructors.
Also, as a reminder, absolutely NO NUTS on campus. This means no peanut butter, no almonds, no Nutella, etc. We have some very severe allergies on site at Hudson and want everyone to be safe and healthy!!!
Exploring the World
Technologically Advanced
Natural Disasters
Anticipating Algebra
Eureka! Inventive Minds at Work
Simple Machines, Complex Designs
To begin our learning, we discovered that there are six different simple machines. We then worked in pairs and created simple machines out of K-Nex. The students also created their own see-saw out of clay and cardboard to see how a lever works. In our final projects, students will be designing their own simple machine to use on the playground or amusement park.
Building Blocks of Engineering: The Way Things Work
Science of the Superhuman
Cracking Codes: Patterns and Probability
Students are traveling back in time to discover the codes used in history. This week students created Pictographs and saw the Caves of Lascaux. Students then traveled through time to Ancient Egypt and created cartouches with their name in hieroglyphics. They then went to Ancient Rome and created codes with sticks similar to those used by the Spartans. Eventually, we will travel all the way to present day to discover how we use codes today.
Magic Carpet Expeditions
Rain Forests: Tropical Treasures
This week in Rain Forests: Tropical Treasures, we started creating components of mural to be displayed on the last day. We planted ferns on the day we were discovering plants in the rain forest. Our projects have included neon frogs and insects out of clay. We also created beautiful macaws out of patterns of our hands and feet. Our final day will be a mural with all the components we created in class.
Planetary Science: Putting the 'U' in the Universe
Curious Chemist: Chemistry in Our Daily Lives
Special request: if you are able to contribute recycled 1-liter bottles and newspapers, we will be collecting those for our projects.
