Otters vs. Leprechauns!
/This week the Otters were really excited about St. Patrick’s Day and wanted to celebrate by looking for evidence of Leprechauns in our classroom and around campus. They decided the best to do this was to practice the engineering design process that we learned earlier in the school year and engineer their own leprechaun traps!
Students first created their own design ideas, which included coming up with a list of materials they would need, as well as steps for building their trap and a sketch of what it would look like. Students then created small groups and worked together to combine their ideas and made one collaborative trap that incorporated all their final designs! There was a lot of variety and creativity amongst the traps students created… All of them were very different! They can’t wait to see what they may catch over the weekend! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
