STEM Challenge

Pretend you have to go away for a two week vacation and need to water your plant.  Use the Engineering Design Process to invent a plant watering device.

Before:

After 2 weeks with my plant watering invention:

 

Presenting my ideas to the class:

What’s for Dinner?

What’s for Dinner?

(researching a NH fish)

I’m an eagle.

I’m hungry.

I want a yellow perch for dinner.

I found a yellow perch in a lake.

I dove for it.

I missed it.

I saw an osprey with a perch.

I swiped it.

“Hey!” screeched the osprey.

I stole its prey.

Oh, no!  The fish is squirming.

Rats!  The fish got away.

I tried five more times, but no.

No dinner for me.

 

The Neck

The Neck

 

My neck is not too long and not too short.

It’s the color of a roasted, toasted marshmallow.

It was made by God.

My neck helps me say yes,

And nod and move all around.

Without my neck,

My head wouldn’t attach!

It helps me breathe and talk of God.

 

Young Eagles

Josh and I were actually entering a helicopter!

The pilot’s name was Roger.  His helicopter was colored blue, yellow, and black.  

I was amazed when we were in the air.  We landed on an island in the middle of the Connecticut River.  I saw a bald eagle!  It was the all time best.  We saw so much tech.  We saw other people take off on the runway.

After everyone was back, we had a picnic lunch on the flight deck.  Then we went to the control tower.  The control tower is a tall tower.  It signals to the planes.

Fun fact:  One of the helicopters was based off of Jurassic.

I loved Young Eagles!
