What about the building process was challenging? It wasn’t really challenging.
How did your build differ from your plan? (If your build was different than your plan, update your plan!) I think that if we did a slime pit it would be easier but more fun.
How did your group work well together during the build? What would you do again? Work well together again.
How did your group struggle during the build? What would you change? We didn’t really struggle.
I feel really good that as a class we helped people in need or people that don’t have enough money. Some of them told jokes, talked for a bit, told there story. The people who run the Gathering said that we served 165 people in 1 hour. After when breakfast was over we cleaned/washed tables and chairs, washed the floor, stacked chairs, took chairs off the stacks, ate a snack, then thought about how much more we helped the world. After we cleaned we talked about what we did and what kind of people came in, there story’s, how many people we served. I feel really proud and am happy that I did it.

This week, we worked on coding Hanukah Cards. Below you will see my creation and what I thought was comfortable and challenging when doing this assignment.
Here is my card:

What I thought was comfortable about this activity: There was a lot to do with my friends.
What I thought was challenging about this activity: It was really annoying at the beginning.
Title: Rubber band Boat
Categorize: Science
This week in science to study potential and kinetic energy we created a moving boat using 2 rubber bands, 5 Popsicle sticks, cardboard, 24 inches of tape, and 4 paper clips. To create the boat we went through the engineering design process, which is shown below.
My original boat:
My original design is…. To make it look like a sail boat. (that’s why there’s a sail.
I believe my original design will allow the boat to stay afloat and move through the water because… It has many things to keep it where it is. Popsicle sticks, rubber bands, etc.
When I put my boat in the water tub this is what happened: It fell over…
The changes I am going to make to improve my boat design are… Flat surface
My re-built boat: 
I believe my new design will allow the boat to stay afloat and move through the water better because… It has a rubber band.
When I put my newly designed boat in the water tub this is what happened…. It floated and did a good job.
Some more improvements I could make to my boat are…. Make it better by putting more effort into it.
This challenge was comfortable because… It was really fun
This challenge was difficult because… It was hard because it was powered by a rubber band.
This taught me about potential and kinetic energy because… It had the rubber band.
We are doing a challenge in ETC. The Repunzel challenge. You have to get Repunzel out of the tower safely and she cannot die. She has to get out of the tower safely. Our idea is to make a flex tape ladder and put a lot of flex tape down.
