Second graders are involved in a science unit called "Catching the Wind."
They worked in teams using the Engineer Design Process (Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Improve) to design sails which harness the wind and make their boat go the farthest.
Children explored different materials and their properties before choosing the ones to use for their sail.
Using iPads, they videoed their trials and created eJournals to document and share their learning. The video below shows one of the trial attempts.
