12-9-13 Meeting

In monday's meeting the students finished up the ski jumps we had started a couple of weeks ago.  From there they turned the ski jump into a one loop rollercoaster.  Finally, they joined with another group and developed a rollercoaster with at least two loops.  All of this while still being able to get the "rider" into the cup safely.  There ideas were amazing!  Below is some of the groups work!

 Our next meeting is December 16th.  We will be showing the students the movie "Sneakers."  We are showing this movie to spark their interest in the next unit which is Code Breaking!!  They need to have their permission slip with them or turned in ahead of time.  They may bring snacks to eat during the movie.  See you then!

12-2-13

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend.

Just a reminder...... Mrs. Blust and Miss Dornon are at the IMSA Academy being trained on the next exciting unit (Secret Communications: Sharing Concealed Messages)!!

Due to this training there will not be an IMSA meeting tonight.  We will meet again on Dec. 9th!

Hopefully you all are as excited as us to get back to our ski jumps and take them a step further to build roller coasters!!!

See you next Monday!

Thank you

WOW!!! We were so impressed with the turnout at Parent Night!  Thank you so much for coming and supporting your child's math and science endeavors.  Hopefully each of you were able to see some of the things that have been going on at IMSA.  We encourage you to engage your children in conversations about the things we are doing in IMSA.  Also, be sure to check this blog on updates of various types.  At the parent night we began to hand out thank you notes for helping to support our field trip to the IMSA Academy!  Don't worry, if you have not received one you will very soon.  Again, thank you for your support and contributions to that trip.  We truly appreciate your support!
