Gifted Pullout Classes Term 2 Project Jan-April 2012

Thanks to a $200.00 grant from the Association of Gifted and Talented Teachers of British Columbia, our science experiment supplies are being purchased. Excellent! Students agreed to work together to build as large a volcano as possible and make it erupt in different ways. We will begin by using google sketchup to create designs for our volcano and then select the best design to use in the building process. Seems like almost too much fun for school?!?? Well- it must be gifted education.

Update: March 26th

We are steadily working on a smaller version of our volcano project. We should be ready to erupt our model sometime next week. media type="youtube" key="RCcb60grxsI" height="315" width="420" media type="youtube" key="AXLR7N3LubI" height="315" width="420"
