Systems Engineers

The goal? Using a motor, fan, solar panel, and wires . . . 

 . . . make the fan turn.

Come up with some ideas with your partner.

Try your ideas.

Successful? Now, can you make your system fail?

Try several different ways.

"We need to have the solar panel facing the sun if we want the fan to turn."

"Let's try making the fan turn the other way."

Record your results.

Draw a sketch of your successful system.

Don't forget to label.

Almost done, Mr. Tuma!

Squiggle Art

Each group received a large piece of paper . . .

. . . with a design.

"Talk for a couple of minutes . . .

. . . and decide as a group what you will draw."

Each student in the group . . .

. . . received a crayon.

"Work together . . . 

. . . to create your own unique masterpiece."

Each group . . . 

. . . shared their art work.

What color did each of them use . . . 

. . . and why they drew what they did.
