Week 4: Lego Club ~ STEAM Camp
Mr. Rauenzahn's
Lego Club ~ STEAM Camp
Thank you again to all the parents and students that attended Lego Club ~ STEAM Summer Camp 2017! Please follow me on social media to keep up with all the fun STEAM projects we will be working on this school year.
Day 1: K'NEX Rubber Band Cars
Students made race cars out of K'NEX and added a rubber band for power. We tried different designs to see which combination would make the cars go the fastest and/or the farthest.
Day 2: Stikbot - Stop Motion Movie
Back by popular demand, the students asked to make more Stikbot Stop Motion movies. Students used Stikbots and the free Stikbot app to make stop motion movies. They used the green boxes as a green screen to add backdrops to their movies. By taking pictures of a Stikbot and moving it to different positions, students created a movie that looks like the Stikbot is moving on its own.
Day 3: Orbeez Lava Lamps
Students predicted what would happen when we added Alka-Seltzer tablets to a cub of Orbeez. We then made observations of how the bubbles changed and moved the Orbeez. Students recorded their findings like real scientists.
