If anyone has been watching the news you are sure to know what is going on in Ukraine (well at least from the news reporting prospective). This weekend, Crista Joy, creator of Special Needs for Special Kids, created a Blog and Google Slide story movie that I felt was really appropriate to share out for some of our classes. Please preview it first to make sure it is applicable for your students. It was designed for middle to high school special needs students. FYI-Did you know that the Ukrainian President was an actor and comedian and his most popular role was on a sitcom where he actually played the part of the president of Ukraine.

The submission window for the 2022 Fluor Challenge opens February 20 during Engineers Week. We are already seeing exciting student engineering underway as students work on designing, building, and testing their paper ball runs! On the fence about trying the Fluor Challenge? Do it! Our 7 Steps to Success post breaks down the process from start to finish. We've got lessons, worksheets, and videos to help. With simple materials (just paper and tape) and a challenge that is fun for all ages, the Paper Ball Run Challenge is one you can easily do with students. They'll be using the engineering design process, practicing teamwork and troubleshooting skills, and exploring the physics of forces of motion, kinematics, types of energy, and simple machines. |
