Monday Class

Today in science we did three things:
1. We wrapped up the inquiry game that we did at the end of class last Friday.

2. We had a short time for interested groups to share and demonstrate their "game" with the rest of the class.

3. We had a discussion about the time constraints of the we can change the world challenge. We gave student groups two choices. A: They can stop and create a wrap-up imovie about their topic. B: They can continue to work on it knowing that most of the upcoming work will have to occur out of the classroom.
