They're always going to be a few students are a bit on the charger or more energetic side. And I usually deal with them by giving them a separate activity, or allowing them to sit out until they're ready to participate in the activity in this case. But because it was right before I know the bit more on the jittery side, but the majority were able to focus up and complete the given task for the day.
The class did an awesome job, creating helicopters out of simple materials and testing to see if they could get the helicopter to spin in a way that an actual helicopter would after the class followed my instructions closely and created their helicopters. We went outside and tested dropping the helicopters Down The Stairway to see if it would have been maintained, its flight all the way to the bottom. Mmm, the students did awesome and nearly every student was able to complete this activity.

Even though the kids were jittery because it's close to December break, they were very focused when building their dragon airplanes and everyone was successfully able to build and fly the plane. They notice that if you add a paper clip to the nose or the tip of a dragon, it will actually fly a little bit of a faster because the center of gravity has shifted. Well, I said they did an awesome job.
The students did an awesome job learning about the science behind airplanes including thrust, gravity, weight, drag, and lift, and Incorporated that into building, cutting out and folding. Dragon toys, they also flew these toys at the end, they all loved it.

The class went good, and the students were respectful of presenters for the most part.
The students planned presentations with a drawing or model of a technology that could make the world a better place! They all presented as well.

The class went well β there are occasionally a few outbursts from students but they otherwise stay on task.
The students built paper airplanes and tested them for speed and distance.

The class went well β I realized that the students benefit from more exact instruction like to not run or leave their seats.
The students built catapults in teams and were all successful in doing so! They used spoons, popsicle sticks, rubber bands, and tape.

The class improved from the past week β the kids stayed more in their seats. I will bring more rewards to incentivize the students to clean!
The class built structures of shelter out of only materials they could find outside - twigs, branches, bark. Many made tents as their choice with paper sides.

A lot of the students were on the noisier side, so it was difficult to watch all of them at once. However, next time I will be strict about students staying in their seats throughout the whole class.
The students broke into teams of three to build weighted bridges only out of paper.

I felt prepared for the studentβs noise from their excitement and was able to help students that felt uncertain about the building process.
The students learned about earthquakes and tectonic plates. They formed teams to see which team could build the most sturdy and tall building. They all succeeded!

The students sometimes were on the louder side dude to excitement, but they were able to calm down and show their peers respect during presentations.
The students broke into teams of 4 to address the challenge: how would their safari species animals survive if they were endangered? After each team presented (along with individual presentations), the students went on a nature walk and described different species they saw outside.
