4/5C Rainforest Project

As part of the HSIE Global Environments Rainforest unit grade 4/5 students from Ms Callinan’s class completed part of their project using MinecraftEdu with Mrs Booth. They recreated various rainforests in pairs, building the four layers of a rainforest and providing information about these features. They presented their projects to the class in the final week of term 4, 2013. The whole rainforest was built block by block so students could gain a deeper understanding of the types of trees that populated their chosen rainforest. This project was approximately 9 x 45 minute lessons.

Marshmallow Challenge!

The Marshmallow Challenge is a remarkably fun and instructive design exercise that encourages teams to experience simple but profound lessons in collaboration, innovation and creativity. The task is simple: in eighteen minutes, teams must build the tallest free-standing structure out of 20 sticks of spaghetti, one metre of tape, one metre of string, and one marshmallow. The marshmallow needs to be on top. Marshmallow Challenge.Com

Here is the original TED Talk video from Tom Wujec-creator of the Marshmallow Challenge
