3rd Grade - This group learned that a generalization is a result of a process; a general statement, idea, or principle. Today's investigator, Harrison Ford, performs real life rescues not just on the silver screen. Together they were able to solve a logic grid puzzle for the warm up activity. In Crystal Pond Woods students created their own logic grid puzzles. After learning about how big our balloon grew from the experiment two weeks ago, students learned that there are a number of fields that require a scientist. Finally, students chose a Polynesian island and began research information about the island/s.

5th Grade - Today's learning began with Rapacious which means raptor-like, preying on others. The investigator for today, Ada Lovelace, invented a computer program back in 1843. Students worked together to complete a logic puzzle for the warm up activity. The focus of the affective lesson was how we demonstrate our feelings by what we wear. The rest of the time was spent learning how to create a bibliography for the Exploravision contest. Students also brainstormed some more ideas they could develop as future products.
