For their inquiry lesson, group two had the students create a leprechaun trap. But first, they began by reviewing what they had taught. I feel that the review was very clear and prepared the students for their activity. The teachers also replayed the Simple Machines song which I thought was a great idea since the students enjoyed it so much the first time!
The students then had to create a trap to catch the leprechaun. They could use any of the six simple machines to draw their trap, but they needed to include a wedge, an inclined plane, or a screw.
I loved how creative the problem was, and it was clear that the students loved it too! The teachers thought that they were too rowdy, but personally, I feel that they were just so excited. I loved seeing the inventions that the students came up with because they were so creative.
Group two did an amazing job for both lessons, and I hope that my group can follow in their footsteps next week!
